Perfect weather is subjective. On this map perfect weather has been defined with temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 29°C (84°F) and not too much precipitation (less than 90 mm (3.5 in) a month).
Dress warmly and in layers for your trip to Dorval in December. A good base layer system works wonders. Start with good thermal underwear, add something warm like a fleece sweater, then finish with a waterproof jacket on top. Expect heavy rainfall, so bring good rain protection and waterproof bags. Expect water temperatures of around 11°C (52°F), which is definitely too cold for comfortable swimming. Your luggage space is better used for other items. With limited sunshine expected, sunglasses aren't a priority for packing.
