September weather forecast
Nouna, Burkina Faso

As Nouna transitions from August to September, rainfall begins to ease, reducing significantly down to 37mm (1.46"). The wet season starts to show signs of wrapping up, as relative humidity decreases and cloud cover begins to recede. Despite the decline in rainfall, the prevailing temperatures remain relatively cool, a respite from the warmer months at the year's start. Sunshine returns to the forefront, providing warmth and brightness to the dissipating rains. September thus marks the onset of the transition period before the dry season kicks in again.

Temperature

In September, Nouna notes an average high-temperature of a torrid 35°C (95°F), hardly different from the preceding month. September sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 24.9°C (76.8°F).

Heat index

September's mean heat index is computed to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 59%.

Be constantly cautious; skin and eyes can be quickly affected if left unprotected. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
