Monthly weather and packing notes
December in Jūrmala calls for insulating layers, a protective coat and footwear for slippery paths. Keep Majori beach pauses and Dzintari pine walks comfortable. A Ķemeri bog outing needs separate transport and careful footing; swimming and spa items depend on your actual plans.

Packtricia calculated December Jūrmala-area ERA5 reanalysis averages via Open-Meteo for 1991–2020: mean daily high 1.4°C, mean daily low -1.6°C and mean monthly precipitation 46.4mm. Thirty complete year-months contribute equally, averaging daily high/low means and monthly precipitation sums across years. Requested coordinates 56.968,23.77 returned grid 57,23.75. Modelled grid estimates are not Jūrmala station normals. Packing bands extend rounded means by 2°C either way; these are not forecasts or limits on extremes. Monthly precipitation is not daily rain probability. Check the actual forecast before travelling.

What to leave behind
- Untested slippery footwear: rain makes boardwalks slick, and snow is not cleared from the Great Ķemeri Bog Boardwalk.
- Only light clothes: a stationary shore pause needs more warmth than active walking.
- Bulky sightseeing luggage: forest paths, sand and tower stairs suit a small day bag.
