November weather forecast
Rundu, Namibia

The weather in November shows Rundu entering its wet season, with a considerable rise in rainfall from 8mm (0.31") in October to 44mm (1.73"). November observes a cooling phase with a slight dip in temperatures from October. The transition to the wet season shows in the increase in humidity levels and the decrease in atmospheric pressure. Despite experiencing the onset of the wet season, November maintains relatively steady weather parameters, making it a suitable time to visit Rundu.

Temperature

The arrival of November signals a subtle shift in temperature, down from a sweltering 36.3°C (97.3°F) in October to a tropical 33.3°C (91.9°F). Rundu, in November, observes a steady average low-temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

Throughout November, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: An average UV index of 6 in November transforms into this advice:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
