November weather forecast
Hwange, Zimbabwe

November sees a slight respite from the torrid October heat with a drop in average high temperature to 32.7°C (90.9°F). The city moves towards the peak of its hot season, experiencing an increase in rainfall to 56mm (2.2"). A distinct shift from the last few months, the rumbles of thunderstorms can be heard echoing across Hwange. The city fares well under the increased humidity, maintaining its lively atmosphere. November weather brings along the excitement of the upcoming festive season and the onset of summer rains.

Temperature

Heat index

In November, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in November is 48%.

Rainfall

UV index

September through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during November leads to these instructions:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
