November is the month with the second highest precipitation, experiencing 97mm (3.82") of rainfall in
Punda. However, the slight tilt towards rainy weather doesn't overly influence the largely sunny and warm atmosphere. The showers only punctuate the sunlit days and don't disrupt outdoor activities on a significant scale. Punda's diverse cultural scene comes alive during this period, making it an exciting time for tourists and locals alike. Therefore, November offers a unique blend of weather experiences.

Heat index
Throughout November, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
