A significant departure from
October's weather patterns,
November charts a different course. With temperatures continuing their downward trend and a noticeable reduction in rainfall to 135mm (5.31"), the change is palpable. Also, sunlight hours shrink further, hovering around 11.4 hours per day. The transition into a notably cooler and drier period signals that the rainy season is drawing to a close.
Temperature
In November, the average high-temperature in
San Pedro Sula,
Honduras, registers at a still tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F), nearly identical to October's 31.6°C (88.9°F). San Pedro Sula temperatures generally rest at a low of 21.4°C (70.5°F) during the November nights.
Heat index
November's mean heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Ensure you act responsibly. Without precautions, skin and eyes can suffer. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear. Apply and frequently reapply a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen even on cloudy days, especially after swimming or an outdoor workout.
