Weather in December
Temperature
Hurikaduwa reaches its lowest average temperatures in December, measuring 27.5°C (81.5°F) at the peak and 19.5°C (67.1°F) at the lowest.Heat index
December's heat index is calculated to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
