Weather in December
Temperature
As December takes its course, Leipoldtville's average high-temperature registers at a still warm 27.8°C (82°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. Leipoldtville's average nighttime temperature descends significantly from the day's peak in December, settling at a mild 15.5°C (59.9°F).Heat index
During December, the heat index is evaluated at 27°C (80.6°F). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
