September weather forecast
Sindia, Senegal

September is the crossing point in Sindia where the remnants of the rainy season meet the return of the drier months. Despite coming after August (the wettest month), this period still records considerable rainfall of 82mm (3.23"), but with an evident downward trend. October follows, holding the promise of lower rainfall and a matching decrease in relative humidity, marking a return to the drier climate that Sindia is known for.

Temperature

In September, Sindia notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.4°C (88.5°F), hardly different from the preceding month. Throughout September, the temperature tends to fall to a consistent average low of 26.1°C (79°F).

Heat index

Throughout September, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
