Weather in December
Temperature
The onset of December brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F), nearly matching the November temperature. Nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 21.1°C (70°F) in December.Heat index
For most parts of December, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. 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. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
