Temperature

Heat index

The heat index value for November is calculated to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

In November, the average relative humidity is 83%.

Rainfall

In November, the rain falls for 25.4 days. Throughout November, 74mm (2.91") of precipitation is accumulated. In Mepom, during the entire year, the rain falls for 282.6 days and collects up to 1104mm (43.46") of precipitation.

On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:48 and sunset at 17:43. On the last day of November, sunrise is at 05:56 and sunset at 17:45 GMT.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in November is 7.2h.

UV index

January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In November, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
