Weather in December
Temperature
The transition into December notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.1°C (80.8°F), revealing a mild distinction from the 24.5°C (76.1°F) in November. Despite a stark disparity with daily highs, Aurora records an average nighttime temperature of 14.3°C (57.7°F) in December.Heat index
Throughout December, the heat index is calculated to be 28°C (82.4°F). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
