September weather forecast
Bengkulu, Indonesia

As September arrives, Bengkulu transitions towards the rainy season, albeit the downpour remains minimal. This month promotes a unique blend of warmer temperatures against a backdrop of partly cloudy skies. The rising wind speed, reaching up to 10.1km/h (6.3mph) on average, helps alleviate the discomfort of mildly increasing humidity. Sightseeing, beach visits, hiking, and city tours become enjoyable as the weather remains cooperative. Therefore, September's weather exemplifies the tranquil beauty of the onset of the rainy season.

Heat index

In September, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
