November shares many weather characteristics with
October in
Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The rainy season continues to intensify with 143mm (5.63") of rainfall recorded this month. Meanwhile, the temperature stays stable, with averages close to those experienced in the preceding month. Outdoor enthusiasts should make note of the ample daylight available and the corresponding need for sun protection, given the eleven-grade UV index.
Temperature
Santa Cruz de la Sierra observes an average high-temperature of a hot 30.7°C (87.3°F) in November, barely different from 29.8°C (85.6°F) in October. Santa Cruz de la Sierra observes an average nighttime temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F) during November.
Heat index
In November, the average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
Humidity
In November, the average relative humidity is 72%.

Enforce all necessary precautions, unprotected skin might burn swiftly. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation. After a swim or an outdoor workout, generously apply and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
