September weather forecast
Tamanredjo, Suriname

September prolongs the observed trend of August's weather in Tamanredjo, Suriname. It extends the apparent reduction in rainfall and further lessens the frequency of overcast skies. September becomes the doorway to the period of short rains, bridging the weather conditions between August and October. Making September unique is the recorded lowest rainfall averaging 34mm (1.34"), and its status as the month with the least days of rain, approximately 13.5.

Temperature

September's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.5°C (88.7°F), hardly different from the previous month. The average nighttime temperature lowers to a moderately hot 24.6°C (76.3°F) throughout September.

Heat index

Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
