In December, Thanatpin experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 31.9°C (89.4°F) in November to a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F). Nighttime temperatures in December average to a refreshing 19.9°C (67.8°F).

Heat index

During December, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. 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. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. 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.

Humidity

In December, the average relative humidity is 62%.

Rainfall

In December, the rain falls for 2.5 days. Throughout December, 7mm (0.28") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 163.6 rainfall days, and 986mm (38.82") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

In December, the average sunshine is 7.5h.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in December is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during December leads to these instructions:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
