Weather in September

September brings the onset of autumn in Melville, yet summer traits persist. A slight decrease in temperature from August offers evidence of summer's decline. A substantial drop in rainfall to 2.91" (74mm), teamed with reduced daylight hours, signifies the approach of fall. Despite the gradual retreat of summer, accumulated heat from the previous months can result in moderate Indian Summer conditions. The weather remains a mix of warmth, occasional rain showers, and increasing cloud cover.

Temperature

The arrival of September coincides with an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C), indicating a minimal shift from August's 90.9°F (32.7°C). Melville records a mean low-temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C) in September.

Heat index

September's mean heat index is estimated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
