Weather in December
Temperature
Lukolela, Democratic Republic of Congo, records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.4°C (88.5°F) in December, closely mirroring the climate of the previous month. An average nighttime temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F) is recorded during December.Heat index
December's heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
