Temperature

In September, the average high-temperature marginally rises from a hot 30.3°C (86.5°F) in August to a still tropical 34.9°C (94.8°F). A stark contrast in day to night temperatures can be seen in Tengani, Malawi, in September, with an average low-temperature of 20.2°C (68.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during September is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 45%, September is the least humid month.

Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in September suggests the following recommendations:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
