Weather in December
Temperature
The months of January and December bring the highest temperatures, averaging a high of 32.5°C (90.5°F).Heat index
The average heat index in December is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

The months with the highest UV index are January through June, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in December suggests the following recommendations:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
