September weather forecast
Al Burayqah, Libya

September heralds the start of autumn in Al Burayqah, with weather conditions beginning to change gradually. As temperatures start to dip, locals get relief from the relentless summer heat. Slightly lower temperatures than August make the weather more comfortable. Despite the drop in temperatures, rainfall remains low compared to the rest of the year. The wind speed also decreases, resulting in quieter days and nights throughout the month.

Temperature

Transitioning from August to September, Al Burayqah observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F), differing subtly from the previous month. Throughout September nights, Al Burayqah experiences a consistent temperature average of 24.8°C (76.6°F).

Heat index

For most parts of September, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. 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.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

The average relative humidity in September is 49%.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
