November weather forecast
Ban Boungmai, Laos

Shrugging off the rain-laden months, November showcases a dramatic drop in rainfall. Lack of major cloud cover allows sunlight to swathe the city for longer hours, introducing an inviting outdoor vibe. Humidity levels stabilize at lower positions, tempering the muggy atmosphere. The cooler temperatures set the precedent for the ensuing winter, without fully plunging into low figures yet. It is a month of transition between the rainy and dry sectors of the year, and November in Ban Boungmai, Laos embraces the gradual change in weather.

Ban Boungmai greets November with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.1°C (88°F), marking a slight deviation from the preceding month. The month of November records an average low-temperature of 20.5°C (68.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index for November is computed to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
