December weather forecast
Ebeye, Marshall Islands

Underscoring December's charm is its marked reduction in rainfall, a departure from November's 271mm (10.67") to 206mm (8.11"). This drop in rainfall brings back sunny days although daylight hours are at an annual low. The tropical ambience remains intact with average high and low temperatures seeing barely diffused changes compared to November. Sea temperatures see a slight decline from November, aligning with the marginally cooler air temperatures. Amidst festive cheer, December in Ebeye concludes the year on a pleasant climatic note.

Temperature

In December, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F), nearly identical to November's 30.4°C (86.7°F). Ebeye's average low temperature, barely cooler than the daytime high, steadies at a moderately hot 25.2°C (77.4°F) during December.

Heat index

Throughout December, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Humidity

In Ebeye, the average relative humidity in December is 78.8%.
