November's weather showcases increased variation and a definitive shift towards the wet season. Noticeable is the leap in rainfall quantity from the dry spell to the notable 76mm (2.99").
Baucau in November brings along with it ascending relative humidity levels paired with consistent UV intensity. Despite the change in weather conditions, sea temperatures continue to remain warm, encouraging beachgoers. The quantity of sunshine slightly declines, but there's plenty of daylight for various activities.
Temperature
November, known for its average high temperature of 30.2°C (86.4°F) and an average low temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F), is the warmest month.
Heat index
In November, the average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Put into effect every precaution of importance, unprotected skin and eyes may get burns swiftly. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key. Apply liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ every two hours, and promptly after any outdoor workout or a swim. Be cautious! Sand and water surfaces make the Sun's UV rays more potent.
