Weather in December
Temperature
December's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a sweltering 35.6°C (96.1°F) from November's 34°C (93.2°F). With a significant daily temperature differential, Idah's nighttime temperature in December falls to an average of 22.2°C (72°F).Heat index
During December, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

In December, the average relative humidity is 43%.Rainfall
December is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 0.9 days and accumulates 1mm (0.04") of precipitation.Daylight

In December, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: In December, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
