Temperature

The commencement of November notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.2°C (84.6°F), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. Throughout November, an average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F) is expected.

Heat index

The heat index in November is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

August through November, with an average relative humidity of 83%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

Sea temperature

In November, the average sea temperature is 29.8°C (85.6°F).
Note: Water temperatures between 25°C (77°F) and 29°C (84.2°F) are regarded as very warm, ensuring all water activities are pleasurable for extended periods without feeling uneasy.

Daylight

The average length of the day in November is 12h and 32min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:50 and sunset at 18:17. On the last day of November, sunrise is at 05:49 and sunset at 18:27 +11.

Sunshine

November has the most sunshine of the year, with an average of 9.7h of sunshine.

UV index

January through March, June, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in November leads to these recommendations:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes. Caution! The mirror effect of sand and water ups the UV radiation strength.
