Temperature

December's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. Maytunas, in the month of December, notes an average low temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F), indicating a small decrease from the daytime highs.

Heat index

The heat index in December is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
