Temperature

In December, the average high-temperature registers at a still hot 33°C (91.4°F), nearly identical to November's 30.9°C (87.6°F). Parombo's temperature in December declines substantially from daytime highs, settling at a consistent average of 20.7°C (69.3°F) during the nights.

Heat index

December's heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in December leads to these recommendations:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
