November weather forecast
Yap, Micronesia

As November sets in, there's a continuation of the declining trend in rainfall, witnessed since September. The reduced precipitation levels of 230mm (9.06"), coupled with increased sunshine hours, create a drier atmosphere. Surprisingly, the temperature, both during the day and at night, sees a marginal increase, maintaining the warmth of the tropical climate. November thus is a month characterized by appreciably drier conditions with substantial daylight. The dry conditions and warm temperatures of this month make it ideal for experiencing all that Yap has to offer, from its beautiful beaches to its rich cultural showcases.

Temperature

Transitioning into November, Yap records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.4°C (86.7°F), almost identical to October's 30.9°C (87.6°F). Yap's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 23.8°C (74.8°F) during the nights of November.

Heat index

The heat index value during November is appraised at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. 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 especially vital to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Implement all necessary safeguards, unprotected skin might suffer burns rapidly. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
