September weather forecast
Garango, Burkina Faso

September sees a significant reduction in rainfall, indicating the departure of the wet season. The temperature holds steady, similar to the past few months, without any major shifts. The clouds begin to disperse, increasing the visibility and allowing more sunshine through. Despite the retreat of the rain, the humidity level remains relatively high. The month of September signifies a transitional period in Garango's weather cycle.

Temperature

The arrival of September sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F), hardly diverging from August's 30.8°C (87.4°F). An average low-temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F) marks the nights throughout September.

Heat index

For September, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for 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.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 74%.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January, June through October and December, 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 ordinary individuals.
Note: In September, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
