November weather forecast
Mekambo, Gabon

November ushers in a dramatic decline in rainfall, from October's peak figure of 219mm (8.62") to a much less imposing 153mm (6.02"). This dip in rainfall prepares the town for the arrival of the dry season. Simultaneously, the temperature begins its ascent once again, prompting locals to adjust to the changing weather. The wind, cloud cover, and relative humidity maintain their average increments, adapting to the falling rainfall. Despite the decrease in rainfall, November remains fairly wet with the skies opening up frequently.

Temperature

The commencement of November records an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), barely varying from October's 28.5°C (83.3°F). November nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

November's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
