September weather forecast
Kelle, Congo

September, the gateway to Congo's second rainy season, contributes to a significant surge in rainfall, reaching 132mm (5.2"). Temperatures dip down slightly as cloud cover takes the larger chunk of daytime hours, minimizing actual sunshine. However, daylight, remaining at 12.1 hours, promises ample time for activities and societal functions. At this time the weather flips the switch, ushering in the resumption of the wet season.

Temperature

Kelle transitions into September recording an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), closely aligning with the preceding month's temperature. During September, Kelle records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index in September is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

In Kelle, Congo, the average relative humidity in September is 81%.

Rainfall

In Kelle, during September, the rain falls for 27.2 days and regularly aggregates up to 132mm (5.2") of precipitation. In Kelle, during the entire year, the rain falls for 270.9 days and collects up to 1169mm (46.02") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are August through October, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in September converts into the following recommendations:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
