December weather forecast
Pixvae, Panama

December, the first month of the winter in Pixvae, is a tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 21.4°C (70.5°F) and 30.3°C (86.5°F).

Temperature

Pixvae's transition from November to December introduces an average high-temperature of a hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), marking an insignificant variation from the 29.5°C (85.1°F). An average low-temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F) marks the nights throughout December.

Heat index

During December, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Humidity

In December, the average relative humidity is 83%.

Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during December translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
