December weather forecast
Agdeppa, Philippines

December, the first month of the winter in Agdeppa, is still a warm month, with an average temperature ranging between min 22.5°C (72.5°F) and max 29.7°C (85.5°F).

Temperature

The commencement of December records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), barely varying from November's 30.2°C (86.4°F). Throughout December, an average low-temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F) is experienced.

Heat index

The average heat index in December is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December is 74%.

Rainfall

In December, the rain falls for 10.2 days. Throughout December, 22mm (0.87") of precipitation is accumulated. In Agdeppa, during the entire year, the rain falls for 212.6 days and collects up to 1206mm (47.48") of precipitation.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
