Weather in December
Temperature
December stands out as Honiara's warmest month, with temperatures ranging between an average high of 29.3°C (84.7°F) and a low of 24°C (75.2°F).Heat index
The heat index value for December is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious. Beware! Reflecting off water and sand, UV rays are much stronger.
