Weather in September

Temperature

Kiran's entry into September measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), closely parallel to the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 25.7°C (78.3°F) is observed during the September nights.

Heat index

September's average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 72%.

Rainfall

In September, the rain falls for 22 days. Throughout September, 81mm (3.19") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 237.8 rainfall days, and 1259mm (49.57") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In September, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
