September weather forecast
Titao, Burkina Faso

September signifies the end of the rainy season. Compared to the previous month, there is a significant drop in rainfall down to 26mm (1.02"). The return of sunny days, relatively mild temperatures, and minimal clouds start to characterize the city's climate again. It’s a season of transition, of gradual receding rains giving way to the dominance of sunny spells. The departure of the rainy season is indeed a dual-sided event, both a gain and a loss to different aspects of the ecosystem.

Heat index

The average heat index in September is computed to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. 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. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Humidity
