Weather in September
Temperature
Parakandeniya observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between August's 28.9°C (84°F) and September's 29.1°C (84.4°F). The low temperature average during September reflects a slight decrease to a still moderately hot 24.9°C (76.8°F) from the day's peak.Heat index
During September, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
