September weather forecast
Alligator Pond, Jamaica

September elicits heightened rainfall and humidity levels in Alligator Pond. Characterized by the highest rainfall of the year at 190mm (7.48"), September firmly rests within the wet season's grip. The temperate warmth of the air continues to thrive, fiercely refusing to descend into chillier territory. Coincidently, the sea temperatures reach their consistency from August, continuing to encourage swimming and other water revelries. Despite being the wettest month, September also affords a generous share of daylight hours.

Temperature

On the advent of September, Alligator Pond's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a warm 29.3°C (84.7°F) from August's 30°C (86°F). During September, Alligator Pond experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

September's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 85%.
