Weather in September

With September comes a shift in weather in Canton, Mississippi. It experiences the fall's initial freshness with the start of temperature drops compared to August. Even though rainfall also reduces, late summer rains are not uncommon. Steady wind and air pressure ensure predictability in weather conditions. Moreover, the UV index steps down a notch, reducing general sun caution requirements.

Temperature

Canton, Mississippi, marks the onset of September with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.9°F (30.5°C), a subtle shift from August's 91.2°F (32.9°C). Canton, during the month of September, experiences an average low-temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Heat index

Throughout September, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
