In
September,
Siguiri begins to bid farewell to the monsoons. There's a prominent reduction in the frequency and intensity of the downpours. The last heavy showers leave behind verdant landscapes, a vibrant testament to the rainy season. The city experiences 234mm (9.21") of rainfall, a final significant contribution before the dry spell sets in. Transitioning into the post-monsoon phase, the weather creates a pleasant co-existence of warmth and moisture.
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Siguiri's average high-temperature at the onset of September, reaching a still hot 33.1°C (91.6°F) from
August's 31.8°C (89.2°F). Despite a significant daily temperature range, Siguiri's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 18.8°C (65.8°F) in September.
Heat index
For September, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F).
Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
