November weather forecast
Ayem, Gabon

November continues the trend of heavy rainfall in Ayem, Gabon with a recorded volume of 232mm (9.13"). Despite the high humidity levels, temperatures do not show a significant shift from the last month. The cloud cover is considerable, rendering the atmosphere darker during daytime. However, locals embrace the November weather, well prepared for the high rainfall that the month traditionally brings.

Temperature

As October transitions into November, Ayem records an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. In the month of November, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 21°C (69.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index for November is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
