September weather forecast
Amlame, Togo

September sees a slight shift towards warmer weather with the highest temperature rising to 29.7°C (85.5°F). The rainfall scale slides down somewhat, leading to a decline in humidity and a slight increase in visibility. These changes signal the end of the wet season and introduce a brighter, more vibrant period. Although rainfall remains relatively high, the breakup of continuous downpours by periods of sunny weather is deeply appreciated. The charm of September in Amlame stems from this balance between sun and rain, inviting the inhabitants to revel in the effects of alternating weather conditions.

Temperature

With the advent of September, Amlame's high-temperatures adjust to a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. During the nights in September, Amlame observes an average low-temperature of 21.6°C (70.9°F).

Heat index

September's heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative 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. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
