Sarh bids farewell to the monsoon in
September. Rainfall drops significantly to 166mm (6.54") from the preceding month's 244mm (9.61"). Receding rains give way to the sunshine reclaiming its prominence in the city sky. A decrease in humidity accompanies the rain slowdown, though the atmosphere remains moist. With the rain curtain gradually lifting, September infuses a rejuvenating spirit into the cityscape.
Temperature
Sarh's average high-temperature in September is a still tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F), marking an insignificant difference from the 30.6°C (87.1°F) of
August. An average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) is recorded in the month of September.
Heat index
The heat index value for September is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F).
Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
