Weather in December
Temperature
December's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F) from November's 29.5°C (85.1°F). During the nights in December, Kipuka observes an average low-temperature of 21.1°C (70°F).Heat index
During December, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
