In
November, temperatures in
Sur experience a significant drop, making this month noticeably cooler than its predecessors. The declining trend in temperature is accompanied by a slight increase in rainfall. A drop in daylight hours continues, resulting in shorter days and longer evenings. The weather conditions in November make way for winter, signalling a remarkable climatic transition. With maximum readings of 31.1°C (88°F), Sur begins to experience a quieter, calmer season.
Temperature
During the shift to November, Sur records a mild decrease in average high-temperature, moving from a very hot 35.7°C (96.3°F) in
October to a hot 31.1°C (88°F). The average nighttime temperature lowers to an agreeable 21.3°C (70.3°F) throughout November.
Heat index
The heat index for November is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

The average relative humidity in November in Sur,
Oman, is 66%.

Note: In November, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
