Temperature

The commencement of November records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.1°C (84.4°F), barely varying from October's 28.8°C (83.8°F). Nighttime readings during November register a minimal drop from daytime highs, averaging at a still moderately hot 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

November's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

The average relative humidity in November is 80%.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
