Heat index

For most parts of September, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 43°C. Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 69%.
