Weather in December

The first month of the winter, December, is still a hot month in Floleu, Ivory Coast, with an average temperature ranging between min 18.1°C (64.6°F) and max 32°C (89.6°F).

Temperature

Floleu marks the arrival of December with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32°C (89.6°F), hardly different from November's 30.4°C (86.7°F). A sharp contrast between day and night is prevalent in December with an average nighttime temperature of 18.1°C (64.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during December is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Humidity

In December, the average relative humidity is 52%.

Rainfall

December is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 6.4 days and accumulates 12mm (0.47") of precipitation.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in December is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In December, the maximum UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
