December is the month when Trà Côn sees the lowest average temperatures, with a high of 30.7°C (87.3°F) and a low of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

In December, the average heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
