September weather forecast
Berbera, Somalia

As Berbera steps into September, the city encapsulates the fag end of summer with an average temperature of 33.7°C (92.7°F). September sustains an alternation from the severe temperatures, embracing a steady decline in heat. The conspicuous reduction in wind speed further amplifies this transition.

The decrease in rainfall from August sets the stage for later months, signalling a shift in weather dynamics.

Temperature

The arrival of September in Berbera is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.7°C (92.7°F), bearing a close resemblance to August. Berbera's nighttime average temperature in September subtly descends to a moderately hot 29.9°C (85.8°F) from the daily highs.

Heat index

Throughout September, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
