Nagoya in December

Dry, clear winter sets in. A scarf and gloves help against the wind. More shops close around the New Year. The sun sets early, so start afternoon plans promptly and do not leave sights for the evening.

The month opened with 10.0 hours of daylight and closed with 9.8. Dusk came early. Frost touched 4 nights of the month on average, enough to glaze puddles and shaded steps at first light. December 2015 averaged 13.8°C by day, 2.0°C above the 20-year mean. The coldest night came in 2014, at −9.1°C.
