The month of
November in
Juba marks the definitive end of the wet season. Despite the city's return to its familiar dry and hot climate, a holdover of the rainy months is seen in a humidity level of 69%. Reduced rainfall down to 43mm (1.69") and increased sunshine hours herald the expected dry season.

Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. 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. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away 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. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Put into action all crucial precautions. Defense against sun damage is a must. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays. Apply generously and frequently reapply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more even on cloudy days, particularly after a swim or outdoor exercise.
