Temperature

Weipa's weather in September, with an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.2°C (90°F), subtly shifts from August's 30.4°C (86.7°F). Throughout September, the average low-temperature records at a pleasant 21.7°C (71.1°F).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is calculated to be 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.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The least humid month is September, with an average relative humidity of 65%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through June, August through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In September, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
