Weather in December
Temperature
The arrival of December records an average high-temperature of a hot 31.7°C (89.1°F), closely related to the 29.3°C (84.7°F) observed in November. Mungbere witnesses a consistent, sharp contrast from the daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 19.4°C (66.9°F) throughout December.Heat index
December's heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in December is 9h.UV index
In Mungbere, the average daily maximum UV index in December is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 6 during December translates into the following directions:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
