November, the last month of the post-monsoon autumn in
Panjim, is still a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 32.9°C (91.2°F) and 22.2°C (72°F).
The ideal sea water temperature of 29°C (84.2°F) and only 3.5 rainfall days, with 35mm (1.38") of accumulated rainfall, makes November the best time for swimming and other water activities.
Temperature
The shift into November records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.9°C (91.2°F), subtly varied from
October's 31.8°C (89.2°F). Panjim usually reports an average low-temperature of 22.2°C (72°F) during the month of November.
Heat index
The heat index for November is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F).
Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
Humidity
In November, the average relative humidity is 70%.
Rainfall
In Panjim, in November, during 3.5 rainfall days, 35mm (1.38") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, in Panjim, there are 109.3 rainfall days, and 2783mm (109.57") of precipitation is accumulated.
Sea temperature
In Panjim, in November, the average water temperature is 29°C (84.2°F).
Note: Temperatures between 25°C (77°F) and 29°C (84.2°F) in water are ideal for swimming, diving, and other activities, providing enjoyment and comfort for extended durations.
Daylight

UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in November is 9. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A typical high UV index of 9 in November suggests the following recommendations:
Don't neglect protection; skin and eyes can be burned swiftly if left exposed. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat. Even on a cloudy day, sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 should be used liberally and reapplied often, especially after a swim or outdoor activity. Attention! The combination of sand and water reflections enhances UV ray intensity.
