In December at the latest, caps are compulsory in Berlin. The average weather in December in Berlin.

Anyone who has managed without gloves and cap so far will get them out of the cupboard in December. The weather forecast can be described simply: cold. The average daily maximum in Berlin this month is only 3.6 degrees and temperatures are now more often in the minus range. The probability of precipitation is also increasing again on average with nine rainy days. With a little luck, Berliners and guests can look forward to snowfall instead of rain. With a white layer of snow, Berlin looks like a magical place. The sun can only be seen for an average of 1.3 hours a day - but the sparkling Christmas markets look better without sunshine anyway.
