Agonda transitions into December recording an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.7°C (90.9°F), closely aligning with the preceding month's temperature. Agonda records a steady low-temperature average of 22.4°C (72.3°F) during December.

Heat index

December's mean heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December is 59%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in December translates into the following instructions:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly amplifies the Sun's UV radiation.
