December

Weather in December

December is uniquely characterized by the noticeable regression of sunlight duration despite being a summer month in Tiebaghi. The increased rainfall reaching 80mm (3.15") resonates with the true essence of a tropical summer. The consistency in daylight hours from the previous month aids in establishing an unwavering rhythm to end the year on. The considerable wind speed holds strong, offering a soothing counterbalance to the heightened humidity. December, thus, serves as a wet and warm grand closure to the weather annum.

Temperature

With the onset of December, a modest change to a still warm 27.3°C (81.1°F) from November's 26.1°C (79°F) is noted in high-temperature. Tiebaghi records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F) in December, slightly lower than the daytime high.

Heat index

In December, the heat index is computed to be a hot 30°C (86°F). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
