Weather in September

September in Natchitoches, Louisiana, marks the beginning of fall, coupled with a significant drop in highest temperature to 88.9°F (31.6°C), succinctly highlighting the season’s onset. The reduction in temperature is complemented by shorter daylight hours, driving the city into the embrace of cozy autumn. Rainfall surpasses the levels witnessed during the heat of summer, thus retaining humidity. The wind's moderate pace contributes to the overall calm demeanour of the season. As October approaches, the fall spirit deepens, resonating in further dips in temperature and daylight hours.

Temperature

A mild shift in the average high-temperature occurs in September, reducing from 94.3°F (34.6°C) in August to a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C). September brings an average low-temperature of 68°F (20°C) to Natchitoches.

Heat index

September's average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
