December weather forecast
Parangloe, Indonesia

The first month of the summer, December, is also a moderately hot month in Parangloe, Indonesia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.9°C (85.8°F) and 25.1°C (77.2°F).

Temperature

The introduction of December notes a subtle temperature variation to a warm 29.9°C (85.8°F) from November's 31.4°C (88.5°F). A minor drop in temperature is observed from daytime highs during the nights of December, averaging 25.1°C (77.2°F).

Heat index

December's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

The average relative humidity in December is 76%.

UV index

Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in December translates into 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. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
