Weather in November

November, the last month of the autumn in Sam, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 21°C (69.8°F) and max 29.5°C (85.1°F).

Temperature

During November, Sam records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F), marking a slight divergence from October's 28.6°C (83.5°F). In the month of November, an average of 21°C (69.8°F) marks the low-temperature.

Heat index

November's heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In November, the average relative humidity is 88%.

Rainfall

In Sam, during November, the rain falls for 29.4 days and regularly aggregates up to 232mm (9.13") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 313.6 rainfall days, and 1610mm (63.39") of precipitation is accumulated.

Daylight

The average length of the day in November is 12h and 5min.
On the first day of November, sunrise is at 05:56 and sunset at 18:01. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 06:01 and sunset at 18:05 WAT.

Sunshine

In November, the average sunshine is 6.3h.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in November is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A maximum UV index of 6 in November translates into the following recommendations:
Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
