Temperature

November's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a warm 29.9°C (85.8°F), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. Throughout November, Kumarakattuwa observes a steady low-temperature average of 25°C (77°F), reflecting a minor dip from daytime highs.

Heat index

November's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
