September witnesses a gradual shift from the persistent monsoons towards the receding rains. The transition is evident in the decrease in humidity, lower rainfall, and mild temperatures. A step down in the levels of rainfall, recorded at 204mm (8.03"), indicates the withdrawal of the monsoon. September thus offers a blend of post-monsoon tranquility and soft sunshine, crafting exquisite weather. This marks the onset of a drier phase in
Allahabad's weather story.
Temperature
Allahabad's September reports an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.9°C (91.2°F), maintaining temperature equivalence with
August. In the month of September, Allahabad witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 24.7°C (76.5°F).
Heat index
Throughout September, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
