Weather in December

December, the first month of the winter in Nkpologwu, is still a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 34.9°C (94.8°F) and 22.6°C (72.7°F).

The shift into December finds Nkpologwu at an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.9°C (94.8°F), closely comparable to November's conditions. The nighttime temperature during December exhibits a clear drop from daytime highs, settling at a pleasant 22.6°C (72.7°F).

Heat index

December's heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
