Temperature

September brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), nearly identical to the preceding month. In September, the recorded average low-temperature is a pleasant 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
