Weather in December
Temperature
Djoum starts December with an average high-temperature of a hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), hinting at a minimal fluctuation from November. Djoum observes a noteworthy temperature drop from the daily highs during December nights, with a mean temperature of 19°C (66.2°F).Heat index
Throughout December, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
