Temperature
September's advent in Minya presents an average high-temperature of a tropical 34°C (93.2°F), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. Minya witnesses a consistent, sharp contrast from the daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 18.4°C (65.1°F) throughout September.
Heat index
September's heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
