Heat index

The average heat index in November is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 particularly important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in November is 81%.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
