November weather forecast
Koutobi, Togo

November holds a steady course towards the city's dry season. Compared to previous months, there's a dramatic drop in rainfall from 63mm (2.48") down to merely 2mm (0.08"). These drier conditions result in temperatures warming up, tying into the upcoming weather pattern of persistent sun and longer daylight hours. The drop in cloud coverage, coupled with decreased pressures, underlines this weather pattern, paving the way to December.

Temperature

The arrival of November witnesses a small shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a hot 33.2°C (91.8°F) in October to a very hot 36.3°C (97.3°F). The anticipated average low-temperature for November, a moderately hot 23.9°C (75°F), shows a substantial deviation from the daytime maximums.

Heat index

The heat index in November is evaluated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
