Temperature

The advent of September brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), almost identical to the preceding month. During September, Loukoura's temperature averages to an agreeable 22.5°C (72.5°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value for September is appraised at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
