Weather in December

The first month of the winter, December, is still a tropical month in Cimitarra, Colombia, with an average temperature varying between 32.5°C (90.5°F) and 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Temperature

December's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.5°C (90.5°F), hardly different from the previous month. Throughout the month of December, Cimitarra witnesses an average temperature of 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Heat index

During December, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
