Temperature

Edina marks the arrival of December with an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), hardly different from November's 28.7°C (83.7°F). Edina's December nights experience a subtle temperature dip to an average of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

December's average heat index is evaluated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
