In November, Brazzaville experiences the maximum rainfall of the year with the precipitation amount reaching a high of 173mm (6.81"). The weather turns cooler and the daylight duration increases gradually compared to the previous months. Fortunately, despite the increased humidity, persistent wind speeds help to balance out the climate. Overall, the more manageable shifts in temperature, wind speed, and rainfall result in a relatively comfortable environment despite increased precipitation.

Temperature

November, with average temperatures reaching a high of 29.5°C (85.1°F) and a low of 21.7°C (71.1°F), is the coldest month in Brazzaville.

Heat index

Throughout November, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
