Heat index

During November, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in November is 83%.

Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. 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. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
