The weather in November continues to validate the shift towards the dry season. Sakete stares at a progressive reduction in rainfall days, compared to previous months. The city enjoys a gradual hike in temperature, marking the austerity of winter. Comforting levels of humidity and an increase in hours of sunshine characterize the month's weather. The weather modulations in November clearly sketch the approach of the quintessential Sakete December.

Temperature

With the start of November, Sakete measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F), not significantly differing from October's 30.9°C (87.6°F). Sakete records a consistent low-temperature of 25.4°C (77.7°F) during November nights.

Heat index

For most parts of November, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are quite important 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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. 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.

A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
