Weather in December
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Chivhu's average high-temperature is noted with the start of December, touching a still warm 27.2°C (81°F) from November's 28.3°C (82.9°F). During December, the average low-temperature is recorded at a refreshing 17.4°C (63.3°F).Heat index
December's average heat index is estimated at 29°C (84.2°F). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
