Weather in September

In Rockport, Texas, September represents the transition from sultry summer to the comfortable fall. A significant drop in temperature can be experienced, signalling the impending arrival of cooler months.

Despite the increased rainfall, the sea retains its warmth, offering an interesting contrast for beach activities. All in all, September offers an interesting mix of weather conditions - a retreat from the intensifying heat, yet with a touch of summer's end.

Temperature

The average high-temperature in September, at a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), reveals a modest deviation from August's 88.3°F (31.3°C). A minimal decline in temperature from daytime highs is anticipated in Rockport throughout the September nights, averaging 78.4°F (25.8°C).

Heat index

During September, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
