December, the first month of the winter in Teling, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 24.5°C (76.1°F) and max 28.8°C (83.8°F).

Temperature

December reports an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), slightly varied from November's 29.6°C (85.3°F). December introduces a small decrease to a nighttime average of 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Heat index

In December, the average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 particular importance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December is 82%.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In December, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
