Singapore, Singapore

As November sets in, Singapore experiences a distinct shift in weather, marking the onset of the Northeast Monsoon. The highest relative humidity of the year is recorded at 86.4%, while the rainfall increases to a significant 257mm (10.12"). Such meteorological changes underscore the movement towards wetter and more humid conditions compared to preceding months.

These weather dynamics continue to provide a distinct charm to this cosmopolitan city-state.

Temperature

At the onset of November, Singapore records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Singapore cools down to an average low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F) throughout the month of November.

Heat index

In November, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

Note: The maximum UV index of 12 during November leads to these instructions:
Employ every precaution of importance, unprotected skin and eyes could burn within moments. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key. After a swim or an outdoor workout, generously apply and regularly reapply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30, even if the day is cloudy. Note! The Sun's UV radiation gets intensified with the reflection from sand and water.
