Weather in December
Temperature
Ipokia's weather in December indicates an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.6°C (92.5°F), nearly consistent with the 32.4°C (90.3°F) of November. In December, the recorded average low-temperature is a moderately hot 24.4°C (75.9°F).Heat index
The heat index in December is appraised at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
Humidity

The month with the least rainfall is December, when the rain falls for 5.3 days and typically collects 7mm (0.28") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 7 during December leads to these advisories:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
