September weather forecast
Garotte, Haiti

The first month of the autumn, September, is still a warm month in Garotte, Haiti, with an average temperature ranging between min 21.3°C (70.3°F) and max 29.8°C (85.6°F).

Temperature

The advent of September denotes an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), subtly different from August's 30.9°C (87.6°F). Throughout September nights, Garotte registers an average low-temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

In September, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 77%.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through May, July through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during September leads to these instructions:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
