Distinguished by being the month with the highest amount of rainfall of the year,
November records a sizeable 288mm (11.34") spread over 16 days. However,
Chumphon doesn’t let this dampened weather impact its zeal. The dense rainfall doesn't deter visitors or locals from taking in the city's beauty. While the decrease in temperature offers a respite from the year-round heat, humidity levels climb slightly. This month truly embodies the very essence of a tropical climate.
Temperature
The advent of November in Chumphon sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), subtly shifted from
October's 31.2°C (88.2°F). During November nights, Chumphon records an average temperature of 23°C (73.4°F).
Heat index
November's mean heat index is evaluated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
