What's the Weather Like in Sunny Beach in December

The final and most festive month of the year sees Sunny Beach in the heart of winter, a very quiet resort out of season, and showing signs of local life rather than tourism.

Temperature

Christmas is a wonderful time to visit Bulgaria as a whole, with plenty of festivities to enjoy and sights to see, and if you head to Sunny Beach at this time of year then you can expect an average temperature of a rather chilly 5°C, reaching a high of only a few degrees more, at 8°C. Evenings are chillier still, so you will certainly be needing to wrap up warm, reaching a low of around 2°C on average.

Rain

If November was Sunny Beach's wettest month then December shows a little sign of improvement in terms of precipitation, with a slightly less 48mm on average throughout the month, affecting around 5 days.

Sunshine

 Sunlight hours are reduced however, at around 5 hours per day; having said that, when the sun does shine it is certainly dazzling and perfect for a scenic walk.

Sea Temperature

If you like to swim, the Black Sea averages a temperature of 12°C - a little chilly!

If you are lucky enough to be spending Christmas in Sunny Beach you will be treated to a peaceful experience indeed.
