Washington Park, FL

The first month of the autumn, September, is also a hot month in Washington Park, Florida, with an average temperature varying between 86.7°F (30.4°C) and 79.7°F (26.5°C).

Temperature

The advent of September brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. September's average low temperature is a warm 79.7°F (26.5°C), displaying a subtle drop from its daily peak.

Heat index

September's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
