Heat index

For September, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. 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 hold particular significance 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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 86%.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
