Heat index

September's average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

UV index

Note: The UV index of 6 during September leads to these advisories:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
