Weather in December
Temperature
The onset of December brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.1°C (84.4°F), nearly matching the November temperature. The temperature lowers to an average of 18°C (64.4°F) during December nights.Heat index
During December, the heat index is computed to be a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids.
