December weather forecastCandelaria, Argentina

Weather in December

The first month of the summer, December, is a hot month in Candelaria, Argentina, with an average temperature fluctuating between 20.5°C (68.9°F) and 31.5°C (88.7°F).

Temperature

Transitioning into December, Candelaria records an average high-temperature of a hot 31.5°C (88.7°F), almost identical to November's 29.6°C (85.3°F). Throughout December, an average low-temperature of 20.5°C (68.9°F) is expected.

Heat index

In December, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

The least humid month is December, with an average relative humidity of 73%.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed.

Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
