Heat index

September's mean heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. 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.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
