September, the first month of the autumn in Colfax, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 68°F (20°C) and 88.3°F (31.3°C).

Temperature

The average high-temperature during September registers at a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), closely corresponding to the preceding month. In Colfax, the September nights cool down to an average low of 68°F (20°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in September is evaluated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
