September weather forecast
Adzope, Ivory Coast

With the heralding of September, Adzope becomes a theatre for the gradually ascending temperatures typical of this time of year. Despite the rise in temperatures, the city experiences increased rainfall, a contrast to the declining numbers of the past rainy days. The city's average visibility takes a dip, cloud cover rises, and daylight hours continue to scale back. However, despite such shifts, the weather continues to retain a balance between its various elements. As a whole, September ushers in a transformative period in the city’s weather narrative.

Temperature

At the onset of September, Adzope records an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Nighttime temperatures in September average to a pleasant 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for September is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
