Temperature

The highest point of temperatures falls in August and September, when the average high-temperature ascends to 32.5°C (90.5°F).

Heat index

During September, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 70%.

Note: In September, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration. Caution! The Sun's UV intensity grows with reflections off sand and water.
