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).
Warm weather calls for comfortable, breathable clothing in December. Cotton t-shirts, shorts, light dresses, and sandals are perfect. You might still want a light layer for evenings or air-conditioned places (for example buses). Some rain is possible, so pack something to handle light showers. The water temperature sits at about 18°C (64°F), which is too chilly for most people to enjoy swimming. Leave the swimsuit at home unless you love cold water. And with plenty of sunshine hours, don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen, and maybe a sun hat.
