Weather in December

December takes Lorentz back into winter's lap, with the temperature ranging from 29.5°F (-1.4°C) to 41.7°F (5.4°C). Snowfall sees an increase to 6.97" (177mm), laying a white carpet across the landscape. The shortest daylight of the year is observed, measuring just 9.5 hours. Pressure remains stable, and the humid winter air dominates the month. The increased snowfall brings out the magic of winters, transforming Lorentz into a serene white wonderland.

Temperature

With the onset of December, Lorentz's average high-temperature slightly adjusts, moderately receding from November's fresh 50.2°F (10.1°C) to an icy 41.7°F (5.4°C). The temperature in Lorentz dips to an average of 29.5°F (-1.4°C) during December nights.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in December in Lorentz, West Virginia, is 82%.

Rainfall

In Lorentz, in December, during 13.5 rainfall days, 3.46" (88mm) of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 187.8 rainfall days, and 38.07" (967mm) of precipitation is accumulated.

Snowfall

January through May, October through December are months with snowfall. In Lorentz, during December, snow falls for 12.5 days and regularly aggregates up to 6.97" (177mm) of snow. In Lorentz, during the entire year, snow falls for 62.1 days and aggregates up to 37.83" (961mm) of snow.

Daylight

The month with the shortest days in Lorentz is December, with an average of 9h and 30min of daylight.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 7:21 am and sunset at 4:59 pm. On the last day of December, in Lorentz, sunrise is at 7:39 am and sunset at 5:09 pm EST.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in December in Lorentz, West Virginia, is 3.9h.

UV index

January, February, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 2, are months with the lowest UV index in Lorentz. A UV Index reading of 2, and below, represents a minimal health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In December, the average maximum UV index of 2 translates into the following recommendations:
Children, babies, and those with sensitive skin should always be shielded from long periods of sun exposure. The Sun's harshest UV rays are around midday; it's wise to seek shade and limit time outdoors. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Attention! Nearly twice the Sun's UV radiation can be reflected by snow.
