Surin concludes the year with favorable weather.
December is marked by the lowest rainfall in Surin, with a mere 2mm (0.08") precipitation. Comfortable temperatures prevail, providing a respite from past months' tropical heat. Corresponding with the lower temperature and reduced humidity is an increased clarity of the atmosphere. Surin's weather in December becomes an ideal backdrop for outdoor activities, ending the year on a pleasant note.
Temperature
The coldest time of the year is December, with temperatures averaging a high of 30°C (86°F) and a low of 18.1°C (64.6°F).
Heat index
The heat index in December is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
