Si consiglia di controllare le previsioni del tempo prima di pianificare le attività in programma durante il mese di dicembre.

What's the temperature like in Bulgaria during December?

It's cold in Bulgaria during December. The temperature tops out at around 6℃ during the day, falling away to -1℃ at night. Brrrr! The UV index will be low at this time of year, so not something to worry about. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's always a good idea to apply a small amount of sunscreen to exposed skin.

Does it snow in Bulgaria during December?

Yes, although it doesn't snow as much as you might expect. It's worth checking the local forecast a few days before you leave home so that you can pack appropriate footwear and clothing.

Does it rain in Bulgaria during December?

On average, there will be 5 rainy days during the month, amounting to 67.8mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. Of course, some of that rain will actually fall as sleet, snow, and possibly freezing rain. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.

Is it windy in Bulgaria during December?

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in December. With cold air temperatures at this time of year, any breeze will feel very cold.
