December weather forecast
Adeta, Togo

December holds steady on the weather front. Maximizing daylight hours while maintaining warmer air conditions, Adeta welcomes the festive season in style. Rare cloudy days and substantial sunlight maintain a cozy, balanced climate. Despite lower humidity and only 4mm (0.16") of rain, the sun shines more often than not. Thus, the last month of the year presents the quintessential Adeta weather vibe: warm, sunny, and inviting.

Temperature

December's arrival in Adeta registers an average high-temperature of a sweltering 35°C (95°F), closely aligning with the temperature of the previous month. A sharp contrast between day and night is prevalent in December with an average nighttime temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Heat index

December's mean heat index is evaluated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December is 44%.

Rainfall

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: During December, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
