November in
Bangkok,
Thailand marks the full return of clear skies and cooler temperatures, indicating the year-end holiday season's onset. The city witnesses a steep decline in rainfall levels recording just 50mm (1.97") precipitation. The weather drastically brightens up, with longer sunshine hours restoring vigor in both locals and tourists. Despite the noticeable drop in rain, the city's greenery remains lush and vibrant due to the earlier monsoon season's residual moisture. The gradual fall of sea temperatures encapsulates the changing weather patterns as locals prepare for the coolest period in the upcoming
December.
Temperature
With the transition into November, Bangkok notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.4°C (90.3°F), closely resembling
October. In November, Bangkok encounters an average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F) during the night.
Heat index
For November, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
Humidity
In November, the average relative humidity in Bangkok is 70%.
Rainfall
In Bangkok, during November, the rain falls for 6 days and regularly aggregates up to 50mm (1.97") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 128 rainfall days, and 1648mm (64.88") of precipitation is accumulated.

Note: The UV index of 10 during November leads to these advisories:
Take the necessary steps to protect yourself; unprotected skin and eyes are vulnerable to damage. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage. 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. Warning! Sand and water reflections boost the intensity of UV exposure.
