Weather in December
Temperature
Stepping into December, Goodlands records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.6°C (81.7°F), almost consistent with November. December witnesses a minor deviation from daytime peaks, with an average nighttime temperature of 25.2°C (77.4°F).Heat index
During December, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 30°C (86°F). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
