Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Oba, is still a warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22.5°C (72.5°F) and 29.2°C (84.6°F).

Temperature

September's average high-temperature is a still moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), maintaining a close comparison with August's 28.5°C (83.3°F). Oba reports a consistent average low-temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F) throughout September nights.

Heat index

For most parts of September, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are July and September, with an average relative humidity of 89%.

UV index

Note: A daily high UV index of 6 in September leads to these guidelines:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
