Weather in September

Attributed to the tropical nature of the region, September in Galle introduces increased rainfall, totaling 222mm (8.74") for the month. Yet, the weather fluctuates less dramatically in terms of temperature and wind speed compared to other months. By this time, local inhabitants have come to anticipate the day-long drizzles that barely interrupt daily activities. It is also during this period that the sea temperature begins to warm up again incrementally from the cooler preceding months.

Temperature

Galle's coldest months, August and September, record an average high-temperature of 28.3°C (82.9°F).

Heat index

September's mean heat index is evaluated at a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
