November weather forecast
Divulapitiya, Sri Lanka

November features a slight decrease in temperature and weather conditions continue to align with standard patterns. Rainfall experiences a further decline to 174mm (6.85"), falling from the previous month, paving the way for more clear days. The UV index remains constant from September, suggesting a similar pattern of sunlight exposure. Despite the adjustments, the weather continues to favor the growth of healthy foliage, underlining the ever-present charm of Divulapitiya's scenic beauty. A respite from high wind speed implies a decrease in severe weather incidents, promising a more predictable pattern for the rest of the season.

Temperature

The arrival of November is marked by an average high-temperature of a hot 30.2°C (86.4°F), bearing a close resemblance to October. An average nighttime temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F) is observed during November.

Heat index

The average heat index in November is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
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. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through April, July, September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during November translates into the following guidance:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
