Temperature

September indicates a minor shift in the average high-temperature, from August's fiery hot 96.6°F (35.9°C) to a hot 89.1°F (31.7°C). An average temperature of 71.6°F (22°C) is recorded during the nights in September.

Heat index

In September, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
