Weather in December
Temperature
December's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.5°C (90.5°F), slightly deviating from November's 30.4°C (86.7°F). In the month of December, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 21.1°C (70°F).Heat index
In December, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
