Weather in December
Temperature
Cerro Largo's shift into December is marked by a subtle change to a tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F) from November's 29.5°C (85.1°F) in temperature. Cerro Largo encounters an average low-temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F) during December nights.Heat index
In December, the average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

The months with the lowest UV index are July, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: A daily high UV index of 6 in December leads to these guidelines:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
