December weather forecast
Edina, Liberia

December continues the trend of drier weather with a slightly warmer but consistently tropical temperature. Rainfall remains low reflecting the current dry season. December maintains November's low-level rainfall pattern at 59mm (2.32"). Humidity also drops, but temperatures are consistently high, reflecting Liberia's tropical climate. Consequently, December stands as a relatively dry, warm month wrapping up the foreseeable weather changes in the calendar year of Edina, Liberia.

Temperature

On the advent of December, Edina's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F) from November's 28.7°C (83.7°F). Edina marks an average drop to a still warm 25.3°C (77.5°F) during nighttime in December, following the high of the day.

Heat index

December's average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. 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. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

In December, the average relative humidity is 77%.

UV index

January through May, October 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 health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In December, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
