The rainfall too, drops quite noticeably to 166mm (6.54") falling across 12.5 days, letting the city recover from the heavy monsoon. Thus, September marks the transition from the hot, wet summer to the cooler, drier months, prompting a shift to lighter clothing and outdoor plans.
Temperature
The onset of September in Foshan brings with it an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.5°C (88.7°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Foshan, in September, observes a steady average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F).
Heat index
The heat index in September is evaluated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 are especially vital to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
