Weather in December
Temperature
December's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), barely different from November's 29°C (84.2°F). Los Asientos experiences an average low-temperature reading of 23°C (73.4°F) throughout December.Heat index
December's heat index is appraised at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
