September in Maradi represents a subtle shift from August, with a gradual decrease in humidity and rainfall. The extended cloud cover from the previous months begins to thin out, paving the way for more sunshine. It also witnesses a slight recoil in the UV index, standing at 8 units, projecting stronger solar exposure. To highlight, September showcases a marked decrease in rainfall, averaging at 18mm (0.71"), signaling the slow recede of the wet season. As for temperatures, they oscillate between 35.8°C (96.4°F) during the day to 25.8°C (78.4°F) during the cooler evenings.

September's onset in Maradi, Niger, brings an average high-temperature of a fiery hot 35.8°C (96.4°F), showing a minute difference from August's 33°C (91.4°F). Maradi records a consistent low-temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F) during September nights.

Heat index

September's average heat index is computed to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Be proactive in protecting yourself; skin and eyes can be harmed if left unprotected. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. Forewarned is forearmed! The Sun's UV radiation can be almost doubled in intensity by snow reflection.
