Weather in December

The first month of the winter, December, is still a cold month in Haskell, New Jersey, with an average temperature varying between 40.1°F (4.5°C) and 28.9°F (-1.7°C).

Temperature

December ushers in a slight temperature change, with average high-temperatures reducing from November's chilly 49.8°F (9.9°C) to an icy 40.1°F (4.5°C). Haskell cools down to an average low-temperature of 28.9°F (-1.7°C) throughout the month of December.

Humidity

February and December, with an average relative humidity of 80%, are the most humid months.

Rainfall

In Haskell, in December, during 9.1 rainfall days, 2.48" (63mm) of precipitation is typically accumulated. In Haskell, during the entire year, the rain falls for 148.6 days and collects up to 26.18" (665mm) of precipitation.

Snowfall

Months with snowfall in Haskell are January through May, October through December. In Haskell, in December, snow falls for 4.1 days, with typically accumulated 2.6" (66mm) of snow. In Haskell, during the entire year, snow falls for 25.5 days and aggregates up to 15.83" (402mm) of snow.

Daylight

December has the shortest days of the year, with an average of 9h and 18min of daylight.
On the first day of December, sunrise is at 7:03 am and sunset at 4:29 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 7:22 am and sunset at 4:38 pm EST.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in December in Haskell is 4.7h.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through March, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 2. A UV Index estimate of 2, and below, represents a minimal health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In December, the maximum UV index of 2 translates into these guidelines:
Infants, children, and people with sensitive skin should always have protection against lengthy periods of sun exposure. Avoiding direct sunlight during midday hours helps reduce the risk from intense UV radiation. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes. Be cautious! The UV radiation from the Sun can be magnified almost twofold by snow reflection.
