Heat index

In November, the average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Humidity

In November, the average relative humidity is 90%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is November, when the rain falls for 29.4 days and typically aggregates up to 314mm (12.36") of precipitation.

On the first day of November, sunrise is at 05:42 and sunset at 17:57. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 05:46 and sunset at 18:04 WAT.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in November is 5.6h.

UV index

January through September and November, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A daily high UV index of 6 in November leads to these guidelines:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
