September weather forecast
Saria, Burkina Faso

Beginning with the autumnal season, rainfall in Saria drops to half of August, standing at 50mm (1.97"). Correspondingly, humidity levels witness a gradual decrease. Continuing the trend from previous months, reduced cloud cover allows for longer sun exposure durations. Despite autumn's onset, mid-day temperatures continue to be hot. The month has a temperature range of 33.5°C (92.3°F) to 23.9°C (75°F).

Temperature

During September, Saria observes a subtle ascent to a still hot 33.5°C (92.3°F) from August's 31.8°C (89.2°F) in the average high-temperature. An average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F) is noted during the nights in September.

Heat index

For September, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather 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. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 66%.

Rainfall

In Saria, in September, during 12.7 rainfall days, 50mm (1.97") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 78.1 rainfall days, and 297mm (11.69") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in September is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In September, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
