September weather forecast
Mougué, Burkina Faso

The first month of the autumn, September, is still a tropical month in Mougué, Burkina Faso, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22.2°C (72°F) and 31.7°C (89.1°F).

Temperature

With the start of September, Mougué measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.7°C (89.1°F), not significantly differing from August's 30.3°C (86.5°F). September brings Mougué a consistent average low-temperature of 22.2°C (72°F).

Heat index

During September, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
