November in
Bangkok,
Thailand marks the full return of clear skies and cooler temperatures, indicating the year-end holiday season's onset. The city witnesses a steep decline in rainfall levels recording just 50mm (1.97") precipitation. The weather drastically brightens up, with longer sunshine hours restoring vigor in both locals and tourists. Despite the noticeable drop in rain, the city's greenery remains lush and vibrant due to the earlier monsoon season's residual moisture. The gradual fall of sea temperatures encapsulates the changing weather patterns as locals prepare for the coolest period in the upcoming
December.
Temperature
The onset of November in Bangkok, Thailand, marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.4°C (90.3°F), hardly differing from
October's 32.6°C (90.7°F). Bangkok, during the month of November, experiences an average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F).
Heat index
Throughout November, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
Humidity
In November, the average relative humidity is 70%.
Rainfall
In Bangkok, during November, the rain falls for 6 days and regularly aggregates up to 50mm (1.97") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 128 rainfall days, and 1648mm (64.88") of precipitation is accumulated.

Note: An average UV index of 10 in November transforms into this advice:
It is essential to prioritize protection. Unprotected skin and eyes can suffer rapid harm. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes. Applying and reapplying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 after every two hours, outdoor workout, or swim is recommended. Take note! Sand and water reflections strengthen the Sun's UV exposure.
