December weather forecast
Mozambique, Colombia

The first month of the winter, December, is a hot month in Mozambique, Colombia, with an average temperature ranging between min 26.1°C (79°F) and max 30.5°C (86.9°F).

Temperature

A minor adjustment in Mozambique's average high-temperature is noted with the start of December, touching a hot 30.5°C (86.9°F) from November's 29.8°C (85.6°F). Mozambique's average temperature during the nights of December is recorded at a warm 26.1°C (79°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in December is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

In December, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Rainfall

In Mozambique, in December, it is raining for 11.5 days, with typically 38mm (1.5") of accumulated precipitation. In Mozambique, Colombia, during the entire year, the rain falls for 210.6 days and collects up to 1115mm (43.9") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The month with the least sunshine is December, with an average of 7.4h of sunshine.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index in Mozambique. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during December translates into these guidelines:
Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
