September weather forecast
Hurghada, Egypt

As the apex of summer paves the way for the transition period, September arrives with a slight dip in temperature. The fading summer heat mildly affects sand and sea activities, however, the overall summer aura remains intact. With seemingly endless days of sunshine, it imprints pristine memories for travelers. As this month carries forward the dry trend with zero rainfall, tourists can relish in uninterrupted sightseeing. The declining UV index brings some relief from the summer severity.

Heat index

For September, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Sand and water reflections boost the intensity of UV exposure.
