The onset of November marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.4°C (83.1°F), hardly differing from October's 29.3°C (84.7°F). Mapati, in November, witnesses an average low-temperature of 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

For most parts of November, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
