September weather forecast
Khatra, India

September, the last month of the rainy (monsoon) season in Khatra, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 25.1°C (77.2°F) and 32.1°C (89.8°F).

Temperature

As September takes its course, Khatra's average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. Throughout September, the temperature tends to fall to a consistent average low of 25.1°C (77.2°F).

Heat index

September's average heat index is evaluated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

August and September, with an average relative humidity of 79%, are the most humid months in Khatra.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in September interprets into the following recommendations:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
