November's weather showcases increased variation and a definitive shift towards the wet season. Noticeable is the leap in rainfall quantity from the dry spell to the notable 76mm (2.99").
Baucau in November brings along with it ascending relative humidity levels paired with consistent UV intensity. Despite the change in weather conditions, sea temperatures continue to remain warm, encouraging beachgoers. The quantity of sunshine slightly declines, but there's plenty of daylight for various activities.
Temperature
November is the month when Baucau sees the highest average temperatures, with a high of 30.2°C (86.4°F) and a low of 20.9°C (69.6°F).
Heat index
The heat index for November is estimated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. 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. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Note: The maximum UV index, 12 during November, leads to the following recommendations:
Undertake all critical precautions. Protection from sun harm is vital. 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. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Regardless of the cloudiness of the day, a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more should be applied and reapplied generously, specifically after swimming or outdoor exercise. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
