September weather forecast
Ekpoma, Nigeria

September, the first month of the autumn in Ekpoma, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 29.1°C (84.4°F) and 22.8°C (73°F).

Temperature

Ekpoma's average high-temperature in September is a still warm 29.1°C (84.4°F), marking an insignificant difference from the 28.3°C (82.9°F) of August. During the month of September, an average temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) is noted during the nights in Ekpoma.

Heat index

In September, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

July through September, with an average relative humidity of 88%, are the most humid months in Ekpoma.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index in Ekpoma are June through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In September, the average maximum UV index of 6 translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
