In
November, there is a significant reduction in rainfall to a meager 1mm (0.04"), almost mirroring the arid conditions of the early months. Despite the drop in rainfall, bright, sunlit days remain a constant feature. The weather starts to lean towards a drier disposition, echoed by the changing landscape of the town. The approach of the dry season is commensurate with the decreasing humidity levels and the dwindling rains.
Temperature
With November's advent,
Koulouba sees an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.9°C (96.6°F), subtly shifted from
October's 35.4°C (95.7°F). Koulouba documents a striking divergence from daytime highs, with an average nighttime temperature of 19.2°C (66.6°F) in November.
Heat index
November's heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
