Hot days, with little need for winter clothing

Expect proper heat rather than mild winter sunshine. Days reach 25°C throughout December, and 43% reach 30°C, so this is not the best fit if you prefer cool conditions for being active outdoors. Plan anything energetic for earlier or later in the day, leaving midday for shade and a slower pace. Loose, light clothing, sun protection and regular drinks make more sense than a packed schedule. Nights are warm on average, though the coolest can fall to 20°C or below. A light layer is sensible if you feel the cold, but heavy clothing is unlikely to earn much space in your luggage.

Very little rain and comfortable swimming

Rain is unlikely to shape your plans in December: the average is about 0 rainy days, so outdoor time is a reasonable priority. That does not make every day completely rain-free, but wet weather is a much smaller concern than managing the heat. The sea averages 24°C, with a year-to-year range of 23°C to 25°C, making swimming a realistic part of the holiday rather than something reserved for hardy swimmers. If you like warm days followed by a dip, December fits well. The trade-off is that dry weather does not mean uninterrupted sunshine, so expect some daylight without bright sun too.
