September weather forecast
Rafaï, Central African Republic

As the year progresses into September, rainfall decreases slightly to 149mm (5.87") while other parameters remain relatively constant. When compared to August, the temperature is slightly cooler, which complements the rain-soaked conditions. Yet, noticeable characteristics of damp and wet weather still define the ambience of September. Though the wind speed doesn't vary significantly, a slight change in atmospheric pressure could mark the start of a climate shift. September is still part of the wet season, but it hints at a transition to cooler and drier months ahead.

Temperature

The start of September sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), showing little difference from August's 30°C (86°F). In September, the nighttime temperature in Rafaï, Central African Republic, lowers to an average of 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
