With the onset of September, the average high-temperature registers at a still very hot 35.4°C (95.7°F), subtly different from August's 35.3°C (95.5°F). In September, Aden experiences an average nighttime temperature of 27.8°C (82°F).
Heat index
The heat index in September is calculated to be a blazing hot 51°C (123.8°F).
Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
Humidity
In September, the average relative humidity in Aden is 69%.
Rainfall
In Aden, during September, the rain falls for 1 days and regularly aggregates up to 5mm (0.2") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 21 rainfall days, and 37mm (1.46") of precipitation is accumulated.

Note: In September, a regular UV index of 12 translates into these guidelines:
Implement all key precautions. Warding off sun damage is critical. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense. Sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be used liberally and reapplied frequently on overcast days, including after every swim or outdoor activity. Take warning! Reflective sand and water surfaces intensify the Sun's UV rays.
