The weather in
September marks the onset of the fall season in
Fuzhou,
China. Temperatures start dipping and the frequency of showers recedes. The daylight hours shorten and the UV indices begin to decline. September returns to a rainfall level of 145mm (5.71"), similar to
March, falling over 11.6 days. As
October approaches, the city prepares for further drops in temperature and intensity of rainfall.
Temperature
The onset of September brings a small shift in high-temperatures, falling from 33.3°C (91.9°F) in
August to a still tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F). The average low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) is witnessed in Fuzhou during September.
Heat index
The heat index value during September is estimated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Note: A daily high UV index of 10 in September leads to these guidelines:
Skin and eyes are vulnerable without protection. Ensure you always take precautions. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended. Following every swim or outdoor workout, a sunscreen with an SPF of not less than 30 should be liberally applied and re-applied frequently, even on overcast days.
