Weather in Capri in December

December in Capri is cool outdoor weather: usable if you dress for it, not a beach brief.

In Italy, this is how Capri actually wears December, not how a country centroid would. Compared with August and February, December sits in the middle of Capri's year.

What to expect

Daytime

Cool days in Capri: a jumper you can take off, a shell in the bag. Walking is fine. Lingering outside without a layer is optimism.

Mornings and evenings are colder than the postcard. Pack for both, especially if you leave the built-up centre.

Rain

December is the wet side of the year in Capri. Days can be heavy. Plans that cannot survive rain are the wrong plans.

This is not a reason to skip Capri if you like the place. It is a reason to pack for weather and to stop treating every grey hour as a failed holiday.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • Rain jacket

  • A layer for cooler evenings
