Weather in September
September characterizes a decline in significant weather extremes, with temperatures ranging from 67.1°F (19.5°C) to 87.6°F (30.9°C). The rainfall plunges to 1.93" (49mm) over 12.6 days, signifying the end of the wet season. Daylight hours start to dwindle, and the UV index tends to decrease. This period marks the beginning of the transition from summer to fall in Selma. The decline in temperature, humidity, and increase in wind speed augment a changing climate, as the region prepares for autumn.Temperature
Selma experiences a transition to a still tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of September, not greatly differing from August's 91.8°F (33.2°C). Selma sees an average low-temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C) during September.Heat index
The heat index value during September is appraised at a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
