Weather in December
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Lae's average high-temperature is noted with the start of December, touching a still warm 27.3°C (81.1°F) from November's 26.5°C (79.7°F). In the month of December, the average temperature dips to an agreeable 21°C (69.8°F) during the night.Heat index
December's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 30°C (86°F). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
