Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Bafuloto, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 26.1°C (79°F) and max 29.5°C (85.1°F).

Temperature

September's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F) from August's 29.1°C (84.4°F). Throughout September in Bafuloto, a minimal difference from peak daytime temperatures is noted, marking a steady low-temperature average of 26.1°C (79°F).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is appraised at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. 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 especially vital to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
