November weather forecast
Grand-Bassam, Ivory Coast

November witnesses the continuation of tropical conditions with high temperatures, reaching a peak of 28.9°C (84°F), in Grand-Bassam, Ivory Coast. Although rainfall decreases to 95mm (3.74"), the high temperatures and constant cloud coverage heighten humidity.

With the onset of November, Grand-Bassam's average high-temperature clocks in at a still warm 28.9°C (84°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Grand-Bassam, in November, logs an average low-temperature of 25.2°C (77.4°F), a subtle step down from daytime readings.

Heat index

The heat index value during November is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

In November, the average relative humidity is 81%.

Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. Warning! Reflective surfaces like sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
