November in
Sharjah marks a significant departure from the challenging summer heat, leaning towards a more pleasurable, cooler climate. This month sees a considerable drop in the scale of sunlight hours, albeit still providing ample daylight for outdoor ventures. After a lengthy dry spell, November regains the possibility of rain with an average rainfall rising to 5mm (0.2"). The shift to
December guarantees a further fall in temperatures and an increase in rainfall. November serves as an intermediary month, shaping the region's shift towards cooler and wetter conditions.
Temperature
Sharjah's weather in November involves a decrease in the average high-temperature, moving down from
October's fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F) to a hot 30.9°C (87.6°F). Sharjah receives a consistent average low-temperature of 16.4°C (61.5°F) in November, a substantial dip from the day's heat.
Heat index
November's average heat index is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
