Temperature

The advent of December signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.1°C (86.2°F), aligning closely with November. In Brakas, the nighttime temperature shows a slight difference from the daytime high, averaging to a warm 27.2°C (81°F) during December.

Heat index

For December, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December is 74%.

The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In December, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. Alert! UV radiation becomes sharper due to reflections from sand and water.
