Mitzic witnesses a sharp rise in rainfall to 139mm (5.47") in
September as the city transitions back into its wet season. This significant increase signifies the end of the dry spell, though temperatures and humidity levels remain steady. High amounts of rainfall, together with warm temperatures, characterize the weather in September. Looking ahead to
October, the expectation is of increasing rainfall, reinforcing the city's transition back to a wetter climate. September's weather showcases the return of the wet season that dominates the city's tropical climate.
Temperature
Transitioning into September, Mitzic experiences an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), marking a minor shift from the preceding month. September brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F).
Heat index
September's heat index is evaluated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in September is 82%.
