September weather forecast
Albina, Suriname

September in Albina, Suriname, brings about a significant decrease in rainfall, only recording totals of 26mm (1.02"). Hence, it marks the end of the dry season, and the resumption of frequent showers. Consequently, both the temperature and humidity start to descend, providing relief from the persistent heat of the previous months. As September gives way to October, slight increases in cloud coverage can be expected. Nevertheless, September remains one of the driest months with the longest sunshine hours, attracting many to its shores.

Temperature

Albina records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.7°C (90.9°F) in September, closely mirroring the climate of the previous month. Throughout September, Albina witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Heat index

September's mean heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Rainfall

In Albina, in September, during 11.5 rainfall days, 26mm (1.02") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 253 rainfall days, and 878mm (34.57") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

July through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: During September, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
