December weather forecast
Loa, South Sudan

The first month of the winter, December, is still a hot month in Loa, South Sudan, with an average temperature ranging between min 21.5°C (70.7°F) and max 34°C (93.2°F).

Temperature

Transitioning into December, Loa records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34°C (93.2°F), almost identical to November's 31.9°C (89.4°F). Despite the intense daytime heat, Loa sustains a steady low-temperature average of 21.5°C (70.7°F) during December.

Heat index

December's average heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December is 45%.

Rainfall

In Loa, in December, it is raining for 6.8 days, with typically 15mm (0.59") of accumulated precipitation. In Loa, during the entire year, the rain falls for 229.5 days and collects up to 1113mm (43.82") of precipitation.

UV index

January through March, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during December leads to these advisories:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
