September weather forecast
Pâ, Burkina Faso

Weather in Pâ through September signals a tapering rain pattern. Landscapes drenched from previous torrential rains now start drying under the benign sunlight. The decreased rain showers are paired with relatively cooler temperatures. The temperature fluctuations for September stay within 23.4°C (74.1°F) and 32.9°C (91.2°F). With the gradual return of the dry spell, the city begins to revert to its earlier dry conditions.

Temperature

The beginning of September records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.9°C (91.2°F), marking a negligible difference from August's 31.4°C (88.5°F). The average low-temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F) is witnessed during September.

Heat index

The average heat index in September is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 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. 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. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in September translates into the following instructions:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
