September weather forecast
Atebubu, Ghana

September carries forward the legacy of the wet season with high humidity levels and frequent rainy days. As the month progresses, the decline in daylight and sunshine becomes prominent, marking shorter days. The temperature fluctuations are minimal and the wind speed further decreases, creating a calm atmosphere. With a rainfall quantity of 112mm (4.41"), September tops the chart becoming the month bearing the highest rainfall of the year. The weather conditions are indicative of the wet season's exit, the signs of which will be more evident in the coming month.

Temperature

Stepping into September, Atebubu records an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), almost consistent with August. The month of September records an average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F).

Heat index

For September, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
