The transition into December shows a subtle variation to a still hot 30.6°C (87.1°F) from November's 30.3°C (86.5°F) in the average high-temperature. Natuba, during December, witnesses an average low-temperature of 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in December is estimated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
