Weather in December
Temperature
The onset of December brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.6°C (81.7°F), nearly matching the November temperature. Sanduku records a mean low-temperature of 17.2°C (63°F) in December.Heat index
In December, the heat index is computed to be a hot 30°C (86°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
