The anticipation of cooling temperatures sets in during
September as
Taichung experiences a decrease in average weather temperatures. After the peak in rainfall in
August, the monthly rainfall decreases significantly to 98mm (3.86"). The weather, though still warm, becomes a lot more conducive to outdoor activities. With the decrease in rainfall and a mild reduction in temperatures, September sets the perfect stage for those seeking to explore Taichung's outdoor scenic views.
Temperature
With the onset of September, Taichung's average high-temperature clocks in at a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. During the month of September, Taichung experiences a steady low-temperature average of 24.1°C (75.4°F).
Heat index
For September, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
