Male welcomes significant reprieve from the rainy season characterized by fewer wet days and a noticeable cool down. Early visitors may witness lingering afternoon showers, swiftly replaced by clear, sunny spells. Declining humidity, combined with consistently moderate sea temperatures, fosters an enhanced visitor experience, optimally suited for extensive exploration and marine adventures. November registers a reduced rainfall volume of 201mm (7.91"), considerably lower than previous months and spread across 13.3 days. An overall transition towards drier periods and the onset of cooler temperatures highlight the climatic trends observed during November.

October's 30°C (86°F). Male logs an average low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F) during the nights of November, subtly lower than its daytime highs.
Heat index
The average heat index in November is appraised at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy 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. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Execute every important safeguard, as unprotected skin and eyes could burn within moments. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized. Use liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every two hours, or straight away after any outdoor workout or swim. Alert! The Sun's UV rays are heightened by the reflection of sand and water.
