September weather forecast
Badikaha, Ivory Coast

September in Badikaha brings relief from the prolonged rainy season, witnessing a considerable drop in rainfall from its peak in August. From August to September, there’s a notable decrease in the amount of rainfall, recording approximately 109mm (4.29"). The high cloud coverage recedes somewhat, allowing the sun to peek through more often. The slightly warmer temperatures help in evaporating the excess moisture, thus reducing the overall humidity levels. Despite the relatively high rainfall, an increase in daylight hours is recorded, ushering in a gradual transition to drier months.

Temperature

September's commencement in Badikaha is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), diverging marginally from August's 28.8°C (83.8°F). The temperature lowers to an average of 21.6°C (70.9°F) during September nights.

Heat index

The heat index in September is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Emphasize additional safety, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is high. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
