September weather forecast
Seyou, Burkina Faso

A decline in rainfall marks the onset of Seyou's slow transition into the dry season in September. The decrease in precipitation is accompanied by a drop in humidity. Despite these changes, temperatures stay consistent, providing warmth throughout the day. Outdoor excursions are particularly enjoyable with fewer rainy days. September differentiates itself from August with a decrease in average rainfall from 70mm (2.76") to 31mm (1.22").

Temperature

Seyou, Burkina Faso, measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F) in September, nearly consistent with the preceding month. In Seyou, September nights cool down to an average of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is computed to be a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
