The average temperature this month is around 26.5°C (79.7°F), similar to November, with daily temperatures usually oscillating from 22.2°C (72°F) to 31.1°C (88°F).

Thus, a high level of preparedness for sudden weather changes becomes less necessary.

Wind conditions in December are in line with those of November, maintaining average speeds between 20.9km/h (13mph) and 29km/h (18mph). These winds, albeit calmer than at the start of the year, remain instrumental in tempering the island's tropical warmth, providing a comfortable climate.

Daylight hours in December offer a little over 11 hours of light each day, a slight decrease from November. The frequency of overcast conditions begins to reduce, with the sky being covered up to 36% of the time, a significant decrease from previous months. Despite the reduction in daylight and cloud cover, sea temperatures stay warm, ranging from 26.1°C (79°F) to 28.9°C (84°F). Consequently, water activities continue to be enjoyable pursuits throughout December.

As December gives way to January, Martinique continues its progression into the dry season. Rainfall further diminishes, and temperatures remain consistent, creating an environment well-suited for exploring the island's lush, vibrant landscapes.
