Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Sierra Prieta, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23.2°C (73.8°F) and 30.3°C (86.5°F).

Temperature

The advent of September denotes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), subtly different from August's 30.5°C (86.9°F). Sierra Prieta's nights in September experience an average temperature drop to a moderately hot 23.2°C (73.8°F).

Heat index

In September, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
