November in
Fougo,
Togo, is characterized by the return of dry weather, with a noticeable drop in rainfall and a general decrease in temperature. Compared to
October's 103mm (4.06") rainfall, November's mere 7mm (0.28") brings a clear shift from the wet season, forecasting the arrival of the dry season. The decreasing temperature and the reduced humidity level indicate the slowly receding heat, setting the rhythm for the oncoming dry days. A considerable escalation in sunshine days from 7.3 days in October to 24.7 days in November projects bright days ahead. A steady wind speed of 5.4km/h (3.4mph), coupled with an ambient atmospheric pressure, echoes the serene weather of the city.

Heat index
The heat index in November is evaluated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
