Weather in December
Temperature
The advent of December denotes an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), subtly different from November's 31.2°C (88.2°F). During December, the average low-temperature is recorded at 23.1°C (73.6°F).Heat index
In December, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 30°C (86°F). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
