November weather forecast
Daru, Papua New Guinea

As November steps in, the weather patterns in Daru are indicative of the impending rainy season. While the daylight hours advance, an increase in cloud cover limits actual sunlight exposure. The increasing sea temperature to 28.5°C (83.3°F), along with progressive wind speeds, indicates raised levels of humidity. Meanwhile, the rainfall mounts to 86mm (3.39"), setting the stage for the wet month ahead.

Heat index

Throughout November, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. 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. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. 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. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
