December weather forecastGwabegar, Australia

Weather in December

December, the first month of the summer in Gwabegar, is still a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 33.6°C (92.5°F) and 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Temperature

Gwabegar experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.6°C (92.5°F) with the onset of December, subtly varied from November's 31.6°C (88.9°F). The average temperature during December nights dips to a pleasant 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Heat index

December's average heat index is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January, February, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in December translates into the following recommendations:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
