Weather in December
Temperature
Ga-Mabotsa marks the arrival of December with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.1°C (80.8°F), hardly different from November's 27°C (80.6°F). The average low-temperature during December nights is a comfortable 17.4°C (63.3°F).Heat index
The heat index in December is computed to be 29°C (84.2°F). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
