November weather forecast
Mvouti, Congo

November leans towards the tail-end of the rainy season in Mvouti, clocking a significant 223mm (8.78") of rain - the highest for the year. The increase in rainfall triggers an upswing in humidity, accentuating the moist atmosphere. The temperature readings remain unaltered from October, but daylight hours marginally increase. The markedly reduced sunshine hours remain constant, while the wind speed reduces further. The sharply intense rainfall results in a high number of rainy days.

Temperature

The months of November and December are noted for their lowest temperatures, with an average high-temperature of 29.5°C (85.1°F).

Heat index

For most parts of November, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
