November sets the stage for a transition to the cool season, offering a pleasant contrast to the weather experienced in scorching
October. A decrease in rainfall marks a stark contrast to the rainy months, making the popular city of
Mae Hong Son a preferred destination. Shorter days along with comfortable temperatures during the morning and evening indicate the onset of winter. As the humidity subsides, the city sees clear skies, which becomes a welcome sight for stargazers. With less rainfall and pleasing temperatures, November forms the perfect backdrop for exploring the cultural richness of Mae Hong Son.
Temperature
Upon the beginning of November, Mae Hong Son's high-temperatures register at a still tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 19°C (66.2°F) marks the nights throughout November.
Heat index
For November, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun. Even on overcast days, a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after swimming or outdoor activities.
