December confirms the cessation of the monsoon season with the least amount of rainfall, a mere 23mm (0.91"). Lowered temperatures from 22.1°C (71.8°F) to 31.7°C (89.1°F), along with reduced humidity, mark the arrival of the winter season. With intermittent rainfall and pleasing weather, December symbolizes tranquillity after a period of intense weather. As the year concludes, a serene and stable weather accompanies the festivities of the holiday season. This transformation consolidates the diversity in the weather pattern of
Trat characterized by the cyclic nature of tropical climates.
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F) in December, hardly different from the 32.2°C (90°F) recorded in
November. Trat experiences an average low-temperature of 22.1°C (71.8°F) in month of December.
Heat index
December's heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
