Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Dolphin, is still a warm month, with an average temperature varying between 62.8°F (17.1°C) and 81.1°F (27.3°C).

Temperature

September's onset brings a negligible change in high-temperatures, falling from a tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C) in August to a warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). The average low-temperature, in September, is a refreshing 62.8°F (17.1°C).

Heat index

Throughout September, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
