Heat index
September's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 30°C (86°F). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Humidity
In September, the average relative humidity in Mugla is 50%.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage. Warning! The reflection of sand and water increases the UV dose.
