In
November,
Salalah enjoys a further retreat from heat and humidity. The decrease of both parameters implies a notable decline in the overall warmth. As cooler winds set in, sunshine hours remain fairly consistent. Interestingly, despite the overall reduction in humidity, there is a sudden rise in rainfall to 10mm (0.39") over a day, momentarily reviving memories of the summer drizzle.
Temperature
The start of November in Salalah marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in
October. During November, Salalah's temperature averages to a pleasant 20.4°C (68.7°F) at night.
Heat index
During November, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.

Prioritize your safety. Without precautions, skin and eyes might get hurt quickly. 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. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense. Use liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every two hours and right after outdoor activities or a swim. Be attentive! The UV exposure is heightened with reflections from sand and water.
