August's transformation into September witnesses an average high-temperature of a hot 30.2°C (86.4°F) in Arish, noting a minor change from the preceding month. September nights in Arish experience a consistent temperature drop to a refreshing 19.3°C (66.7°F).
Heat index
In September, the average heat index is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
