September weather forecast
Bouca, Central African Republic

September signals the commencement of the rain tapering off phase in Bouca, Central African Republic. The continuing temperature and humidity levels make for a very humid climate despite the reduction in average rainfall. Sunshine manages to filter through the residual cloud cover, gradually increasing the number of bright hours in a day. The month witnesses a decrease in average rainfall to 113mm (4.45"), spread across 23 days. A consequence of the gradually subsiding rainfall is the marginal increase in visibility.

Temperature

September observes an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), marking an insignificant difference from August's 28.7°C (83.7°F). The average low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F) is witnessed during September.

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is estimated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
