September weather forecast
Malakal, South Sudan

September signifies the retreat of the monsoon, with weather in Malakal leaning towards drier climates. The easing up of cloud coverage allows for more sunshine hours, while the prevalent winds regain some of their lost speed. Even though the rainfall frequency decreases, it doesn't completely fade away. The dip in humidity is an affirmation of the receding monsoon. A fall in precipitation to 83mm (3.27") underscores this transition period.

September in Malakal observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), marking an insignificant difference from August's 31.3°C (88.3°F). In the month of September, the average low-temperature usually rests at an agreeable 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
