Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Athens, is still a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 66.9°F (19.4°C) and 88.3°F (31.3°C).

Temperature

The start of September involves a subtle temperature drop, shifting from a tropical 94.1°F (34.5°C) in August to a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C). Athens records a mean low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) in September.

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. 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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
