How warm is it in India during December?
The temperature reaches around 29℃ during the daytime in December, falling away to 18℃ at night. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in India during December?
The answer is no. India is typically bone dry in December. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in India during December?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in December. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a welcome cooling effect.
