Weather in December

For December, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
