Comfortable afternoons, cool evenings

December suits travellers who prefer being outdoors in mild weather rather than planning their day around heat. A daytime high averaging 20.8°C makes lighter clothing useful during the warmer part of the day, but it is not a promise of warmth from breakfast until bedtime. The warmer days reach 24.4°C or more, so there can be afternoons that feel distinctly warm. Evenings are the catch: average night lows of 11.6°C call for a jumper or jacket, and the coldest nights fall to 9.2°C or below. Pack clothes you can layer instead of relying entirely on a summer wardrobe. For meals outdoors after sunset, keep that extra layer with you.

Useful sunshine, but cold sea and some rain

Expect about 6.5 hours of sunshine within 10.0 hours of daylight, leaving useful time for outdoor plans without suggesting every day will be clear. Make the warmer daylight hours your main window for sitting by the sea. At an average of 17.7°C, the water is cold; even its year-to-year range of 17°C to 18°C offers little reassurance if comfortable swimming is central to your holiday. Rain is another reason to keep plans flexible, with about 4 rainy days during the month. A light waterproof is sensible, and a forecast check can help you choose when to spend longer outdoors. December works better for enjoying the coast from dry land than for lingering in the water.
