November weather forecast
Gondokoro, South Sudan

November marks a stark transition in Gondokoro's climate, with rainfall plunging dramatically to 34mm (1.34"). This significant decrease signifies the arrival of the dry season, with a marked reduction in rainfall days to 13.3. Coupled with a notable fall in humidity to 57%, the atmosphere becomes significantly drier. With temperatures continuing to rise, reaching a maximum of 33.4°C (92.1°F), the climate grows hotter. Nevertheless, the abundant 11.9 hours of daylight continue to provide ample time for sunlight-dependent activities.

Temperature

The onset of November notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.4°C (92.1°F), subtly shifted from October's 32.4°C (90.3°F). Gondokoro temperatures generally rest at a low of 22.8°C (73°F) during the November nights.

Heat index

The heat index for November is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. 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 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in November is 57%.

Rainfall

In Gondokoro, in November, during 13.3 rainfall days, 34mm (1.34") of precipitation is typically accumulated. In Gondokoro, during the entire year, the rain falls for 210.9 days and collects up to 731mm (28.78") of precipitation.

Daylight

On the first day of November, sunrise is at 05:38 and sunset at 17:35. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 05:46 and sunset at 17:37 CAT.

Sunshine

In November, the average sunshine is 9.4h.

UV index

In Gondokoro, the average daily maximum UV index in November is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in November converts into the following recommendations:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
