December weather forecast
Bachite, Mozambique

December, the first month of the summer in Bachite, is also a moderately hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 29.9°C (85.8°F) and an average low of 22°C (71.6°F).

Temperature

December commences with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.9°C (85.8°F), showing little deviation from November's 28.5°C (83.3°F). Throughout December, Bachite witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 22°C (71.6°F).

Heat index

December's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

UV index

January and 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 threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in December translates into the following recommendations:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
