November weather forecast
Bofosso, Guinea

November in Bofosso, Guinea marks a significant shift in weather conditions with the end of the wet season. The city experiences a drastic reduction in rainfall and humidity starts to go down. The almost constant sunshine and reduced cloud coverage make for brighter, clear skies. The most noticeable change this month is the sharp drop in rainfall from 158mm (6.22") in October to 38mm (1.5") in November. This marks the beginning of the drier, more temperate part of the year.

Heat index

Throughout November, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

In November, the average relative humidity is 78%.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
