November weather forecast
Mekambo, Gabon

November ushers in a dramatic decline in rainfall, from October's peak figure of 219mm (8.62") to a much less imposing 153mm (6.02"). This dip in rainfall prepares the town for the arrival of the dry season. Simultaneously, the temperature begins its ascent once again, prompting locals to adjust to the changing weather. The wind, cloud cover, and relative humidity maintain their average increments, adapting to the falling rainfall. Despite the decrease in rainfall, November remains fairly wet with the skies opening up frequently.

Temperature

November's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F) from October's 28.5°C (83.3°F). During November, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in November is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
