Weather in December
Temperature
December's average high-temperature is a still tropical 34.3°C (93.7°F), maintaining a close comparison with November's 32.6°C (90.7°F). Mentukua records a pronounced decline from the day's peak to an average nighttime low-temperature of 20.7°C (69.3°F) throughout December.Heat index
December's heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
