November solidifies the departure from the monsoon season, characterized by significant dips in rainfall and cooler temperatures. The vast reduction in rainfall to 117mm (4.61") is certainly indicative of the oncoming dry season. Despite the introduction of cooler days, temperatures maintain their tropical averages, which, when combined with the reduced rainfall, make November an ideal time for tourism and outdoor-based activities.
Temperature
With the start of November,
Pasay measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.7°C (87.3°F), not significantly differing from
October's 31.1°C (88°F). November nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F).
Heat index
Throughout November, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
