September weather forecast
Pô, Burkina Faso

September marks the beginning of the gradual descent from the wet season in Pô, Burkina Faso. The drop in the recorded 60mm (2.36") of rainfall, along with a significant reduction in relative humidity, signifies this transition. The skies start clearing up, opening more to sunlight and warmth. The shifting weather patterns bring variety to the landscape. The noticeable rise in UV index orientation further confirms the impending arrival of the dry season.

Temperature

The introduction of September notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F) from August's 30.8°C (87.4°F). Throughout September, a steady low-temperature average of 23.2°C (73.8°F) is noted.

Heat index

The heat index value for September is computed to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. 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 hold particular significance for children. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
