December embraces the year-end with a substantial drop in rainfall, registering at 125mm (4.92").
Trang,
Thailand festoons this month with improved weather conditions, substantially less humid than the previous month. The decline in rain further accentuates with a constant drop in daylight hours. The persistently warm and comfortable temperatures, paired with improving weather conditions, set an inviting stage for the New Year celebrations in the city.
Temperature
The lowest temperatures are recorded in December, with averages reaching a high of 31.2°C (88.2°F) and a low of 22.3°C (72.1°F).
Heat index
For most parts of December, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
