November in
Port Sudan produces the highest rainfall of the year, a hefty 35mm (1.38") over 4.1 days. It is a significant alteration in the weather scheme introducing more cloud cover and fewer hours of sunlight. Despite significant rainfall, temperatures remain comfortably warm for both air and sea. As November gives way to
December, weather conditions stabilize barring a slight drop in temperature metrics for a more winter-like profile.
Temperature
Port Sudan starts November with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), hinting at a minimal fluctuation from
October. In Port Sudan, the average nighttime temperature during November is a warm 23.8°C (74.8°F).
Heat index
November's mean heat index is appraised at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
Humidity
The months with the highest humidity are October and November, with an average relative humidity of 72%.
Rainfall
November is the month with the most rainfall in Port Sudan. Rain falls for 4.1 days and accumulates 35mm (1.38") of precipitation.
Sea temperature
In November, the average sea temperature is 29.3°C (84.7°F).
Note: For any water activity, surface water temperatures between 25°C (77°F) and 29°C (84.2°F) are considered as excellent and extremely pleasant for lengthened periods.
Daylight
The average length of the day in November in Port Sudan, Sudan, is 11h and 13min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:32 and sunset at 16:57. On the last day of November, sunrise is at 05:48 and sunset at 16:51 CAT.
Sunshine
In Port Sudan, the average sunshine in November is 7.5h.
UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in November is 8. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 8 in November translates into this advice:
Always prioritize safety measures. Rapid harm can befall unprotected skin and eyes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays. Caution! Sand and water reflections can notably increase the UV radiation intensity.
