Weather in December
Temperature
The transition into December notes an average high-temperature of a warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), revealing a mild distinction from the 30.9°C (87.6°F) in November. Ephrata's nights in December experience an average temperature drop to a still moderately hot 24.3°C (75.7°F).Heat index
Throughout December, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
