Weather in September

The first month of the autumn, September, is also a hot month in Shira, Nigeria, with an average temperature fluctuating between 34.3°C (93.7°F) and 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Temperature

Shira's September showcases an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.3°C (93.7°F), hardly distinct from August's 32.1°C (89.8°F). During September, Shira observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Heat index

September's heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Always take precautions; unprotected eyes and skin can be damaged rapidly. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
