Weather in September

The weather in September signals the end of monsoon, the rainfall quantifying a significant dip. Consequently, the humidity level continues to decrease, making the climatic conditions increasingly comfortable. Dynamic shifts in cloud cover dance around with the reducing rainfall. Meanwhile, increased sunshine hours signify the city's gradual stroll back towards more considerable amounts of daily sunlight. September winds persistently blow at a speed of 12.2km/h (7.6mph), carrying the last whiffs of monsoon and ushering in the transition to the much anticipated dry season.

Temperature

The onset of September manifests an average high-temperature of a still warm 27°C (80.6°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Consistently, Takoradi reports average nighttime temperatures of 23.5°C (74.3°F) during September, a marginal step down from its daytime highs.

Heat index

For most parts of September, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
