What December feels like
Savannah does December properly: candlelight tours through the old houses, wreaths on every ironwork gate, and a Christmas that smells like pluff mud and woodsmoke. A cold snap or two drops a handful of nights below freezing, and it never lasts long.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 6 nights dip below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 58° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
