September in
New Taipei brings a gradual subsidence of the summer heat. The city starts welcoming the early hints of autumn, though remnants of summer's scorching temperatures linger. September witnesses the peak in terms of total rainfall, logging in an impressive 361mm (14.21"). Despite the increasing rainfall, temperature and humidity maintain their summer highs for the larger part of the month. However, by the end of September, the city starts to cool down, bidding a slow farewell to the sweltering heat.
Temperature
The commencement of September in New Taipei,
Taiwan, notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. The average temperature in New Taipei during September nights dips to a warm 24.8°C (76.6°F).
Heat index
The heat index value for September is evaluated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
