Weather in December

The first month of the winter, December, is a hot month in Mindourou, Cameroon, with an average temperature fluctuating between 32.5°C (90.5°F) and 19°C (66.2°F).

Temperature

The onset of December marks an average high-temperature of a tropical 32.5°C (90.5°F), hardly differing from November's 29.9°C (85.8°F). December nights show a substantial disparity from the daytime peak with an average low-temperature of 19°C (66.2°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in December is calculated to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

The average relative humidity in December is 62%.

Note: An average UV index of 6 in December transforms into this advice:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
