Weather in December
Temperature
December observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), marking an insignificant difference from November's 31.5°C (88.7°F). During the month of December, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 23.9°C (75°F).Heat index
Throughout December, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
