September weather forecast
Pana, Burkina Faso

September, the first month of the autumn in Pana, is still a tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 32.9°C (91.2°F) and an average low of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Temperature

The onset of September marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F), hardly differing from August's 31.4°C (88.5°F). The temperature lowers to an average of 23.4°C (74.1°F) during September nights.

Heat index

The heat index value during September is computed to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. 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 71%.

Rainfall

In Pana, in September, it is raining for 15.3 days, with typically 70mm (2.76") of accumulated precipitation. In Pana, during the entire year, the rain falls for 96 days and collects up to 407mm (16.02") of precipitation.

UV index

In Pana, the average daily maximum UV index in September is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in September transforms into the following instructions:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
