A slight reduction in sunshine hours signifies an increment in cloud cover across the city's sky.

With the onset of November, the average high-temperature stands at a still hot 32.4°C (90.3°F), closely aligned with October's 33.1°C (91.6°F). Apatou experiences an average low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) in month of November.

Heat index

In November, the average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

In November, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in November leads to these guidelines:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
