Weather in September

September, much like August, witnesses a continuation in weather patterns previously established. However, September stands out for seeing a slight reduction in rainfall from 154mm (6.06") in August to 62mm (2.44"). Regardless of the decrease in precipitation, temperatures continue to linger around the same margins with a high of 33°C (91.4°F) and a low of 23.7°C (74.7°F). The presence of water from ample rainfall suffices to uphold the relative humidity. As the end of the rainy season approaches, September experiences less rainfall compared to August.

Temperature

September's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a still tropical 33°C (91.4°F) from August. Maroua's September nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

September's average heat index is estimated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
