September weather forecastTouroumini, Benin

Weather in September

The first month of the autumn, September, is also a moderately hot month in Touroumini, Benin, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22°C (71.6°F) and 29.5°C (85.1°F).

Temperature

September's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F), showing a minute difference from August's 28.5°C (83.3°F). Touroumini's temperature drops to an average low of 22°C (71.6°F) during the nights of September.

Heat index

The heat index value for September is estimated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 84%.

Rainfall

In Touroumini, during September, the rain falls for 24.5 days and regularly aggregates up to 111mm (4.37") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 145.9 rainfall days, and 630mm (24.8") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

In September, the average sunshine is 7.7h.

UV index

In September, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in September transforms into the following instructions:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
