September weather forecastAl Qadarif, Sudan

Weather in September

The transient period between the monsoon and the dry season reflects in September's weather. The city of Al Qadarif starts drying out with a reduction in rainfall and humidity, marking the end of the fertile monsoon period. This month typically reflects a balance between the wet and dry extremes of the city's climate. Unique to September is the swift decrease in rainfall from 133mm (5.24") in August to a significantly lower 38mm (1.5"). As the climate shifts towards aridity, the frequency of sunny days and warmer temperatures ensures the city's vibrant ambience continues unhindered.

Temperature

As September takes hold, the average high-temperature is a still tropical 34.5°C (94.1°F), nearly mirroring that of the previous month. Al Qadarif throughout September, records an average low-temperature of 24.1°C (75.4°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in September is calculated to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 59%.
