December weather forecast
Carapeguá, Paraguay

December, the first month of the summer in Carapeguá, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 31.9°C (89.4°F) and min 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Temperature

The introduction of December notes a subtle temperature variation to a still hot 31.9°C (89.4°F) from November's 30.2°C (86.4°F). In the month of December, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Heat index

December's mean heat index is evaluated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

UV index

January, February and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in December suggests the following recommendations:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
