Heat index

In September, the average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 78%.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
