December weather forecast
Kampong Kdei, Cambodia

December juxtaposes itself starkly against Kampong Kdei's dominant climate, offering a break from year-long hot conditions. With a mixture of moderate temperatures, low rainfall of just 14mm (0.55"), and optimal daylight hours, it is a suitable time for visitors and locals to pursue outdoor activities. This considerable shift from the conditions of November outlines the dynamic nature of the weather in this region. Venturing into January from December sees a continuation of these milder temperature trends. Just as the year circles back to its beginnings, the weather too swings back to its milder standards.

Temperature

December is the coldest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 30.6°C (87.1°F) and as low as 21.5°C (70.7°F).

In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
