December Weather Averages

Sorted by popularity:

What's The Weather Like In Borneo In December

The island of Borneo is located in Southeast Asia and bisected by the equator. This keeps the day length at a more or less a constant 12 hours throughout the year, while there are also minimal annual variations in the weather pattern. The only major variable is rainfallhere is a monsoon season and a dry season. Other weather factors, such as sunshine and temperature, remain fairly constant, with little variation in the course of the year.

Rain

December falls in the middle of the monsoon season in Borneo and is one of the two wettest months of the entire year. Receiving 435mm of rainfall in total, December is only exceeded by January when it comes to precipitation. The chance that it will rain on any given day ranges around 82% this month, between 80% at the end of the month and 84% on December 9, which is historically the wettest day of the year.

Sunshine Hours

Because this is the wettest and, therefore, cloudiest time of year, December has the lowest number of daily sunshine hours. This month, there are 7 hours of sunshine to be enjoyed on average each day, a number that, when looking at the bigger picture, really isn't too bad. November has the same number of daily sunshine hours.

Temperature

Temperature-wise, this is one of the coolest months of the year, which doesn't mean that it actually gets cool, though. The overall average temperature is still 27°C, which it is throughout the entire monsoon season. The afternoons get 31°C warm (or hot) on average, which, combined with increased humidity, might make things uncomfortable for unprepared visitors. At night, the average low temperature is 23°C, which is definitely pleasant by any means.

Borneo Hotels In December

Rattan Inn Hotel

Banjarmasin has lots of family friendly hotels, such as the Rattan Inn Hotel, which is located in the city centre, only 30 minutes away from the airport. Try out the Japanese cuisine at Sakaeru Japanese Restaurant, or relax by the pool. The hotel includes a beauty salon, as well as a spa.
