Temperature

With the onset of November, the average high-temperature stands at a sweltering 35.1°C (95.2°F), closely aligned with October's 33.6°C (92.5°F). Canchungo throughout November, records an average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F).

Heat index

November's heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in November is 54%.

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during November, leads to the following recommendations:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
