The city witnesses a steep decline in rainfall levels recording just 50mm precipitation. The weather drastically brightens up, with longer sunshine hours restoring vigor in both locals and tourists. Despite the noticeable drop in rain, the city's greenery remains lush and vibrant due to the earlier monsoon season's residual moisture.

December.
Temperature
With the advent of November, Bangkok experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.4°C, mirroring a close resemblance to the previous month. An average minimum temperature of 23.9°C marks the month of November in Bangkok.
Heat index
During November, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 42°C. Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

It is crucial to take precautions; skin and eyes can get damaged if left unprotected. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Even when it's cloudy, ensure the generous application and frequent reapplication of a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF, particularly post swim or outdoor activity. Be attentive! The UV exposure is heightened with reflections from sand and water.
