Weather in Jamshedpur in December

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, December is the one. Highs average 24.8 °C, lows 11 °C, and rain falls on 1 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

December is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is January, and the month at the other end of the year is May.

Rain falls on only 1 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average December reaches 30 °C. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest December day reached 30.9 °C and the coldest night fell to 3.6 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 31 mm — roughly 310% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. December rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 55 mm across the twenty years measured — a 55 mm spread around an average of 10 mm. The average is real but almost no individual December looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 4.6 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 68%.

How December sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 27 °C in November, 24.8 here, 25.5 in January. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in December

December sits at the dark end of Jamshedpur's year — 10.7 hours of daylight against 13.5 at midsummer, holding steady all month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 30.6 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

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

December in Jamshedpur versus nearby

If Jamshedpur is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Ranchi is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.2 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. Kolkata is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: December is the answer for Jamshedpur. If it is booked out or priced out, January is the next best thing at 1 points behind, and May is the month to keep off the shortlist.
