September introduces
Hyderabad to the receding monsoon phase. Although the rainfall decreases to 158mm (6.22"), it remains an integral part of September's weather narrative. This slowdown in rainfall marks a gradual movement towards the post-monsoon season. In the coming month of
October, less rainfall and warmer temperatures will be the reigning climatic elements.
Temperature
In September, Hyderabad experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 29.8°C (85.6°F) in
August to a hot 30.5°C (86.9°F). September's nights observe an average temperature of 22°C (71.6°F).
Heat index
During September, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

UV index
March through September, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 11, and more, symbolizes an excessive health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 12 in September converts into the following recommendations:
Take all required precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat. Apply liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ every two hours, and promptly after any outdoor workout or a swim.
