November takes Sangmelima into an increasingly drier season, highlighted by a marked decrease in rainfall. A slight upsurge in temperature is observed compared to October. Although rainfall declines, Sangmelima receives fewer sunshine hours compared to other months with less precipitation. In November, temperatures assertively rise to 29.8°C (85.6°F), pointing clearly to an imminent dry season.

Temperature

The shift from October to November is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), not significantly different from the 28.5°C (83.3°F) of October. Throughout November, Sangmelima witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 20.4°C (68.7°F).

Heat index

Throughout November, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in November in Sangmelima is 88%.
