Miri, Malaysia

November announces the start of the wettest season in Miri, Malaysia, with a significant rise in precipitation levels from October. The trend of decreasing air and sea temperatures persists, while high humidity elevates the sensation of coolness. A noticeable increase in cloud coverage characterizes November, in line with the rainy season apprehension. Though the wind speed drops mildly, the month registers higher occurrences of rainfall days.

Temperature

November brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.7°C (87.3°F), aligning with the conditions of the preceding month. During November, Miri's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during November is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage. Warning! Reflective surfaces like sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
