September, the first month of the autumn, in
Aden, is still a torrid month, with average temperature varying between 35.4°C (95.7°F) and 27.8°C (82°F).
Temperature
In September, the average high-temperature is practically the same as in
August - a still sweltering 35.4°C (95.7°F). In Aden, the average low-temperature is 27.8°C (82°F).
Heat index
The average heat index in September is estimated at a life-threatening hot 51.2°C (124.2°F).
Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature', 'real feel', 'feels like', or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Additional factors like activity, clothing, wind, and pregnancy affect individual temperature impact. 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 particularly important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it is vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. If the body can not disperse the excessive heat and body temperature reaches conditions of hyperthermia, above 37.5°C (99.5°F) to 38.3°C (100.9°F), thermal conditions are potentially life-threatening.
Humidity
In September, the average relative humidity in Aden is 69%.
Rainfall
In Aden, during 1 rainfall days, 5mm (0.2") of precipitation is typically accumulated. In Aden,
Yemen, during the entire year, the rain falls for 21 days and collects up to 37mm (1.46") of precipitation.
Sea temperature
In September, the average sea temperature in Aden is 30.3°C (86.5°F).
Note: For swimming, other intense water activities, temperature above 30°C (86°F) is arguably unpleasant, as the water cooling effect is missing.
Daylight
In Aden, the average length of the day is 12.2h.
Sunshine
In September, the average sunshine is 9h.
UV index
February through September, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index in Aden. A UV Index of 11, and more, symbolizes an extreme threat to health from unprotected exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The average daily UV index of 12 in September transform into the following instructions:
Take all required precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Tightly woven, loose-fitting clothes provide additional protection from the Sun. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be liberally applied and re-applied every two hours, and immediately after an outdoor workout or a swim. Beware! The strength of the UV rays is significantly increased by the reflection of the water and sand.
