Temperature

As November begins, there is a minor decrease in the average high-temperature, softly falling from a torrid 35°C (95°F) in October to a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Throughout the month of November, Chavuma sees a steady low-temperature average of 19.9°C (67.8°F).

Heat index

In November, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

UV index

In November, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: A daily maximum UV index of 6 in November translates into the following instructions:
Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
