Weather in September

With the arrival of September, Dauphin Island starts to see a dip in hot summer temperatures. While the weather continues to be wet, daylight begins to shorten and the extended sunlight of the summer months starts fading. The wind speed picks up a bit, hinting at the gradual change in the atmospheric flow patterns. September carries within it the traits of summer, yet it hints at the eminent change as the turn of the season is just around the corner.

Temperature

September brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), nearly identical to the preceding month. Throughout September, an average low-temperature of 75°F (23.9°C) is expected in Dauphin Island.

Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
