The average high for December in Newberry typically sits at a comfy 60.4°F (15.8°C) while the average low rests at a cozy 47.3°F (8.5°C). But this December is indeed one for the books, with temperatures more reminiscent of those chilly winters in 1958!
Historically speaking, we usually see around 2.4 inches of precipitation over about 9.5 days during December, with snow being a rare surprise that graces us only about 0.3 days on average. This year, however, with the cold snaps we’ve been experiencing, residents are feeling some nostalgia for December’s of yesteryear.
