Weather in December
Temperature
With average high temperatures of 29.5°C (85.1°F) and lows of 21.5°C (70.7°F), December is the coldest month.Heat index
Throughout December, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
Humidity
November and December, with an average relative humidity of 84%, are the most humid months.Rainfall
In Kimpoko, in December, it is raining for 23.6 days, with typically 125mm (4.92") of accumulated precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 197.5 rainfall days, and 834mm (32.83") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine

The months with the highest UV index are January, April through October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in December interprets into the following recommendations:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
