Weather in September

September marks the official end of Ségbana's monsoon with a significant decrease in rainfall to 66mm (2.6"). The change in weather is evident as sunnier days gradually outnumber rain-filled ones. The noteworthy pullback in monsoon activity allows the residents to break from the continuous rain. While September offers respite from the downpours, October promises to be drier and sunnier, creating an ethereal autumn ambiance. The transition from September to October sets the tone for the city's weather for the rest of the year.

Temperature

The transition into September is marked with an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), showing an insignificant shift from August's 30.7°C (87.3°F). Ségbana, during the month of September, experiences an average low-temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 particularly important for children. 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
