Weather in December

The first month of the winter, December, is also a hot month in Bosobolo, Democratic Republic of Congo, with an average temperature ranging between min 21.2°C (70.2°F) and max 33.9°C (93°F).

The advent of December denotes an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.9°C (93°F), subtly different from November's 31.3°C (88.3°F). In Bosobolo, December nights witness a remarkable decline from the day's zenith to a pleasant 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during December is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

The average relative humidity in December is 55%.
