November weather forecast
Sussex, Sierra Leone

November ushers more sunshine into Sussex. Both the maximum temperature and rainfall remain stable at 30.1°C (86.2°F) and 59mm (2.32"), respectively. Yet, tarnishing this sunny picture is the reduced wind speed, dipping to a yearly low of 6.8km/h (4.2mph). The weather becomes clearer and sunnier, as the last of the sparse monsoon showers make their exit.

Temperature

The onset of November notes an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F), subtly shifted from October's 29.5°C (85.1°F). A mild drop to an average of 25.3°C (77.5°F) marks the nights during November.

Heat index

For most parts of November, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in November translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
