September marks a noticeable transition with temperatures beginning to cool off and substantial reduction in rainfall from
August's figures. Despite the recalibrating weather conditions,
Shaoguan remains bathed in plentiful daylight. Residents and visitors can still enjoy the city's outdoor activities before the winter chill sets in. As nature shifts its palette from green to shades of orange and red, the city’s parks and streetscape come to life. This month, therefore, serves as a graceful farewell to summer while paving the way for the colder months ahead.

Heat index
September's average heat index is appraised at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
