Nice at the Beginning of the Month
With temperatures ranging from 6° C to 12° C - the cold weather characterizes the many sunny days of the beginning of the month. For this reason, in order to take full advantage of this shy sunshine, warm clothes are of great importance. Although the weather is conducive to recharging away from the harshness of winter, outdoor activities are limited.
Nice in the Middle of December
Despite the fall in temperatures, the weather throughout Nice in December remains pleasant - as the sun still dominates many days that stand out for their luminosity. However as the night falls rather quickly, it is necessary to plan activities in order to make the most out of these few hours of sunshine.
Nice at the End of December
