November weather forecast
Darwin, Australia

November brings with it an increase in precipitation, indicating the start of the wet season with a significant rise in rainfall to 92mm (3.62"). Relative humidity increases to 68%, suggesting an upward surge in moisture in the atmosphere. This jump in humidity level marks a noticeable shift in the weather conditions, paving the way for a wet season. Despite the occasional showers, one can still relish the warm sun as it peeps in between the clouds. November proves to be a season of change in Darwin, transitioning smoothly from dry to moist weather conditions.

Temperature

The warmest month is November, with an average high-temperature of 33.3°C (91.9°F) and an average low-temperature of 27.6°C (81.7°F).

Heat index

In November, the heat index is appraised at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
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 high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in November is 68%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index, 8 in November, converts into the following recommendations:
Always be careful, as unprotected skin and eyes might burn in no time. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days. Beware! Reflecting off water and sand, UV rays are much stronger.
