Weather in December
Temperature
December notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F), subtly differing from November's 28.3°C (82.9°F). An average minimum temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F) marks the month of December.Heat index
The heat index in December is appraised at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

A UV Index estimate of 3 to 5 represents a moderate health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In December, a regular UV index of 5 translates into these guidelines:
Take care. Persons with lighter skin might suffer burns in less than 30 minutes. For skin protection, it's recommended to minimize Sun exposure during its peak hours around midday. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
