September weather forecast
Banes, Cuba

As Banes makes a transition towards the end of the summer season, September sees a slight decrease in average maximum temperatures, dropping to 30.8°C (87.4°F). A relief from the sweltering heat is observed, marked by a shortening of daylight hours, indicating the onset of the cooler months. Despite the reduction in sunlight hours, the UV index remains at a high level, suggesting that the sun's strength remains potent. The pressure and wind characteristics do not exhibit any major fluctuations, staying within normal limits. However, humidity experiences a slight uptick, implying second wind of the humid season.

Temperature

During September, Banes observes a subtle ascent to a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F) from August's 31.3°C (88.3°F) in the average high-temperature. In the month of September, the average temperature in Banes dips to a moderately hot 25.6°C (78.1°F) during the night.

Heat index

During September, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

UV index

April through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during September translates into the following recommendations:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
