Weather in December
Temperature
The arrival of December sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.3°C (81.1°F), hardly diverging from November's 26.5°C (79.7°F). An average temperature of 21°C (69.8°F) is recorded during the nights in December.Heat index
December's heat index is appraised at a hot 30°C (86°F). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: During December, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
