Temperature

Thailand, transitions from October to November, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 30.4°C (86.7°F), nearly the same as the previous 31.8°C (89.2°F). Hat Yai experiences an average temperature drop to a warm 23.2°C (73.8°F) during November nights.
Heat index
For most parts of November, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 11 in November translates into the following recommendations:
Practice every essential safety step. People with fair skin could receive burns in fewer than 5 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Apply and frequently reapply a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen even on cloudy days, especially after swimming or an outdoor workout.
