Weather in December
Temperature
December's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), showing a minute difference from November's 30.6°C (87.1°F). In Lofosola, in December, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 21.8°C (71.2°F).Heat index
December's heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in December is 9.5h.UV index
January through July, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: In December, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
