Bingerville, Ivory Coast

Grandly wrapping up the year in Bingerville, December creates an inviting canvas of clear, dry weather under the sun's plentiful light. December draws a meaningful comparison with January's weather, concluding the annual climate journey in a somewhat symmetrical fashion.

The last month's atmospheric spectacle gives residents and visitors a refreshed perspective, ushering in the new year with much finesse.

Temperature

In December, Bingerville notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.9°C (85.8°F), hardly different from the preceding month. In Bingerville, December's low temperatures hover around a still warm 25.5°C (77.9°F), reflecting a minor decrease from the daytime highs.

Heat index

December's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
