Although the wet conditions persist, a sense of dry weather starts emerging. Shifting from September to October, the weather pattern displays a prominent reduction in the frequency and volume of rainfall. The pleasant balance between the receding rains and increasing sunshine hours mark the transition towards drier and sunnier months ahead. The wind speed also sees a drop, further enhancing the overall mild conditions.

Temperature

The shift from August to September is characterized by an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F), not significantly different from the 28.9°C (84°F) of August. Throughout the month of September, Kore reports a steady low-temperature average of 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Heat index

September's average heat index is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual'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 hold great significance 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. 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. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
