Weather in December
Temperature
December's presence marks an average high-temperature of a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), subtly varied from November's 31.1°C (88°F). During the month of December, the temperature falls to an average of 20.4°C (68.7°F).Heat index
For most parts of December, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
