November weather forecast
Rundu, Namibia

The weather in November shows Rundu entering its wet season, with a considerable rise in rainfall from 8mm (0.31") in October to 44mm (1.73"). November observes a cooling phase with a slight dip in temperatures from October. The transition to the wet season shows in the increase in humidity levels and the decrease in atmospheric pressure. Despite experiencing the onset of the wet season, November maintains relatively steady weather parameters, making it a suitable time to visit Rundu.

Temperature

Start of November brings a slight shift in the average high-temperature, dipping a bit from October's very hot 36.3°C (97.3°F) to a hot 33.3°C (91.9°F). Throughout the month of November, the average temperature dips to a pleasant 21.8°C (71.2°F) at night.

Heat index

During November, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. 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 quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
