Climate Guide for December
It’s
well into the ‘rain season’. Generally wet and
humid with occasional outbreaks of rain showers day or
night, however there seems to be a clear prevalence of
showers in the early afternoon.
Quite common in the tropics is that even in the rainy
season dry and sunny spells is still fairly frequent.
On average December experiences at least 10 dry days
and even during the rain days it doesn’t necessarily
rain throughout the day.
Although
the Northwest monsoon seems to be well established, we
normally experience fairly light winds (the only
exception is with the presence of tropical cyclones to
the south which can stir up moderate winds for a
couple of days). Outside of this, condition at sea is
quite pleasant.
It
is summer down south and with the high humidity
conditions can get a bit oppressive at times.
