September weather forecast
Balama, Mozambique

September ushers in a transition period, best denoted by a marginal rise in rainfall from 1mm (0.04") to 2mm (0.08"). Balama, Mozambique begins to abandon its dry spell, paving the way for a wetter season. A steady increase in temperature follows suit, indicating a gradual return to warmer days. However, the climate still retains its comfortable essence attributed to controlled humidity and gentle breezes. The UV index remains unchanged, therefore necessitating precautions against excessive sun exposure.

Temperature

Balama registers an average high-temperature of a hot 31.5°C (88.7°F) at the commencement of September, closely related to the preceding month. Balama experiences a dramatic descent in temperature during September, with the average nighttime reading settling at a comfortable 18.1°C (64.6°F).

Heat index

September's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
