Masungbo, Sierra Leone

The last month of the autumn, November, is also a hot month in Masungbo, Sierra Leone, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.5°C (88.7°F) and 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Temperature

The beginning of November records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. In November, Masungbo records an average nighttime temperature of 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Heat index

November's mean heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

UV index

January through April, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In November, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
