Weather in Budta in December

A hard month. December asks something of you. Go in knowing what. You should expect rain on 19 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

Budta barely has seasons. December scores 41 out of 100 against a best of 51 in February — a gap small enough that the month you choose matters far less here than the week you choose.

Rain on 19 days, 4 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Natural fibres and a second shirt for the day. At 86% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 26 days top 30 °C, making the heat continuous rather than occasional. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest December day reached 35.4 °C and the coldest night fell to 19.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 79 mm — roughly 54% of the month's rain in one day.

December is moderately variable: 55 mm in the driest year against 401 mm in the wettest, around an average of 147 mm. Roughly two Decembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 3.6 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity at 86% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 31.2 °C.

How December sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 31.3 °C in November, 31.2 here, 31.1 in January. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in December

Budta sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 11.7 hours in December, against a range of just 0.8 hours across the whole calendar. Sunrise and sunset land at roughly the same time whenever you come.

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 10.8 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

December in Budta versus nearby

If Budta is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Davao is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days more rain. Cagayan de Oro is a better bet in December — within a degree on temperature, 3 days more rain.

So: December works, with February the better month by 10 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
