Weather in December
Temperature
The shift into December uncovers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.7°C (81.9°F), subtly different from the previous month. December nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 15.8°C (60.4°F).Heat index
For December, the heat index is computed to be a hot 30°C (86°F). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 primarily vital for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
