Heat index

For most parts of December, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. 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. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

In December, the average relative humidity is 75%.

Rainfall

In Pasongsongan, in December, during 26.3 rainfall days, 141mm (5.55") of precipitation is typically accumulated. In Pasongsongan, Indonesia, during the entire year, the rain falls for 198.9 days and collects up to 999mm (39.33") of precipitation.

UV index

February through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In December, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. 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. Be careful! The Sun's UV radiation is accentuated by reflecting off sand and water.
