What to wear in Sydney in December: pack lightweight layers and strong UV protection for temperatures between 63°F and 77°F. Quick-dry fabrics handle salt spray at Bondi Beach.
December launches Sydney's hot humid summer with extreme UV at Bondi Beach and Manly Beach. Sudden southerly busters can cool afternoons rapidly after hot mornings, a key visitor pain point. Harbour Bridge crossings expose walkers to strong winds year-round, making windproof layers and secure hats essential near the Opera House and Circular Quay.
