Weather in September

With the advent of September, Galveston starts bidding farewell to the summer and welcoming Fall. September sets the peak annual rainfall record with an average of 4.29" (109mm). Despite this shift, the sea remains warm, and the breeze is consistent, providing solace from the remaining heat of summer days. As days become shorter, the decreasing temperature sees a reduction of outdoor and beach activities. The usual vibrant summer atmosphere gradually tapers off as the city starts transitioning towards cooler months.

Temperature

In September, Galveston experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 87.4°F (30.8°C) in August to a moderately hot 84.2°F (29°C). Galveston's September nights demonstrate minimal variation from the daytime temperatures, with an average of 78.4°F (25.8°C).

Heat index

September's heat index is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
