Heat index

For December, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December is 82%.

UV index

January and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In December, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly. Note! Reflective surfaces like sand and water heighten the UV radiation levels.
