September weather forecast
Koumogo, Chad

September continues the monsoon trends of August with rainfall of 91mm (3.58"), albeit much lower and a slide down in temperatures to 31.1°C (88°F). The cloud coverage starts to reduce, leading to an increase in sunshine hours and a steady improvement in visibility. The wind speed picks up the pace as the pressure starts to normalize after the peak monsoons.

Temperature

The shift into September reveals an average high-temperature of a tropical 31.1°C (88°F), closely mirroring August's climate. During September nights, Koumogo witnesses a consistent average temperature of 22.6°C (72.7°F).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 79%.

Rainfall

In September, the rain falls for 22.6 days. Throughout September, 91mm (3.58") of precipitation is accumulated. In Koumogo, during the entire year, the rain falls for 128.4 days and collects up to 608mm (23.94") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in September is 8.7h.

UV index

In Koumogo, the average daily maximum UV index in September is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in September, converts into the following recommendations:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
