November weather forecast
Maitama, Nigeria

As November commences, rainfall becomes a scarce occurrence in Maitama, returning the city to a drier phase. The weather shows a significant decline in the humidity levels and a notable increase in the maximum temperature levels. The length of daylight remains almost unchanged while the number of sunshine days increases. The UV Index also increases, indicating a harsher sun during the day. During November, the temperature fluctuates between 22.3°C (72.1°F) and 34.7°C (94.5°F) while the rainfall significantly decreases, with the city receiving just 2mm (0.08") of rain over 1.6 days.

Temperature

A slight uplift in the average high-temperature marks November, adjusting from October's 31.4°C (88.5°F) to a still hot 34.7°C (94.5°F). Maitama sees a major change from daytime highs, with the nighttime temperature dipping to a pleasant 22.3°C (72.1°F) on average during November.

Heat index

November's heat index is evaluated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Humidity

In November, the average relative humidity is 46%.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in November translates into this advice:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
