Vacationers travel to Bermuda, many from the U.S., for its sunny, warm climate and close proximity to the American mainland. This small island country doesn’t experience a harsh winter, but temperatures do drop a bit during December. Many businesses offer low season discounts throughout the month, though, allowing visitors to save up to 60 percent on lodging.
December temperatures in Bermuda hover in the high 60s to low 70s Fahrenheit. During this time of year, many resorts and tour companies don’t offer water-based recreation, like windsurfing and snorkeling, because the ocean is too chilly. However, the cooler temperatures are ideal for activities such as hiking and golf, according to Lonely Planet, making it a pleasant time to visit nonetheless.
Though hurricane season ends in November, December in Bermuda may be wet. Showers are common throughout the month, which averages 4.74 inches of rainfall. Fortunately, rain typically comes in short, intense bursts and the skies become sunny again quickly.
Pack a light coat for December evenings in Bermuda, because temperatures drop a few degrees after sundown. Travelers should also bring clothes for layering in case the temps change due to “unseasonable spurts of spring or summer weather,” according to Frommer’s.
