Weather in December

December, the first month of the winter in N'Zébéla, is still a tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 17.2°C (63°F) and max 31.7°C (89.1°F).

Temperature

The arrival of December brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F), nearly identical to November's 30.3°C (86.5°F). N'Zébéla records a marked divergence from the day's high temperatures, with nights in December averaging at a refreshing 17.2°C (63°F).

Heat index

Throughout December, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December is 54%.

Rainfall

December is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 3 days and accumulates 3mm (0.12") of precipitation.

With an average of 11h and 42min of daylight, December has the shortest days of the year in N'Zébéla.

Sunshine

The months with the most sunshine in N'Zébéla are January and December, with an average of 9.8h of sunshine.

UV index

In December, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index, 6 during December, leads to the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
