September weather forecast
Al Wajh, Saudi Arabia

Al Wajh in September witnesses a slight drop in temperature as the city gradually begins to transition out of summer. The air pressure begins to regain figures that had dropped during the hotter months, signifying the gradual return of milder times. The almost non-existent rainfall remains unaltered, maintaining the dry, warm weather. More wind movement compared to the previous couple of months adds a refreshing change from the stagnant summer heat. A notable decrease in temperature is observed as the city marches from September into October.

Temperature

Al Wajh's shift into September sets the average high-temperature at a hot 34.5°C (94.1°F), a figure that deviates only slightly from August's 35.6°C (96.1°F). Throughout the month of September, the average temperature in Al Wajh dips to a warm 27.5°C (81.5°F) at night.

Heat index

Throughout September, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important 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.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear. Note! The Sun's UV radiation gets intensified with the reflection from sand and water.
