December weather forecast
Quyquyhó, Paraguay

December marks the end of the year with a return of the high temperatures and humidity levels. The city again experiences warmer days, with the temperature going up to 32.1°C (89.8°F). The constant winds blowing at an approximate speed of 8.8km/h (5.5mph) do little to alleviate the sultry conditions. The sun shines brighter with an increased UV index, indicating long and hot days ahead. Despite the increased rainfall, the high relative humidity of about 71% makes December one of the city's warmest and humid months.

Temperature

The dawn of December sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F), subtly contrasting with November's 30.2°C (86.4°F). Throughout the month of December, Quyquyhó reports a steady low-temperature average of 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

For most parts of December, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 highly important for children. 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
