In
November,
Pakse,
Laos sees further transition towards the dry season. Rainfall dwindles dramatically, flagging the end of the rainy season. Even though the humidity gradually subsides, it remains at reasonably high levels. The decreasing daylight hours coupled with the declining temperatures make November one of the cooler, more pleasant months. With the UV index stepping down to single digits, the sun’s harshness begins to alleviate.
Temperature
Pakse's weather in November, with an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), subtly shifts from
October's 30.8°C (87.4°F). Pakse records an average nighttime low-temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F) throughout November.
Heat index
The average heat index in November is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
Humidity
In November, the average relative humidity is 72%.
Rainfall
In November, the rain falls for 10 days. Throughout November, 19mm (0.75") of precipitation is accumulated. In Pakse, during the entire year, the rain falls for 128 days and collects up to 2075mm (81.69") of precipitation.
Daylight
In November, the average length of the day is 11h and 26min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:52 and sunset at 17:27. On the last day of November, sunrise is at 06:06 and sunset at 17:24 +07.
Sunshine
In November, the average sunshine is 7.5h.
UV index
The months with the lowest UV index are November and
December, with an average maximum UV index of 9. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A maximum daily UV index of 9 during November morphs into the following directions:
Act with caution. Neglecting protection can lead to skin and eye damage in moments. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be used liberally and reapplied every two hours or post an outdoor workout or swim.
