September weather forecast
Bouemba, Congo

The first month of the spring, September, is still a tropical month in Bouemba, Congo, with an average temperature varying between 31.4°C (88.5°F) and 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Temperature

As August transitions into September, Bouemba records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. An average nighttime temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F) is observed during September.

Heat index

September's heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 73%.

Rainfall

In September, the rain falls for 27.5 days. Throughout September, 130mm (5.12") of precipitation is accumulated. In Bouemba, during the entire year, the rain falls for 276.3 days and collects up to 1248mm (49.13") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In September, the average sunshine is 8.4h.

UV index

With an average maximum UV index of 6, September is the month with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 6 during September translates into the following guidance:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
