Unseasonably Cold Weather Hits Newberry, SC on December 9, 2025
Hey there, Newberry! It looks like we’re in for a chilly December, as the weather on December 9th brought some surprising temperatures that reminded us winter is certainly here. With a high of just 46°F (8°C) and dipping down to a crisp 30°F (-1°C) overnight, you probably felt those nippy temperatures as you stepped outside.
A Touch of Frost
As we kicked off the day, you may have noticed a frost advisory in effect due to those low overnight temperatures. It’s one of those days where it’s wise to bundle up; think hats and mittens! While we escaped snowfall this time around, it was definitely cold enough for a frosty start. No need to worry about driving through a snowy mess, but do watch your step if you venture outside!
Precipitation and Clouds
The skies over Newberry were mostly clear, giving us a lovely view of the sun. A hint of light precipitation made an appearance, but we’re talking less than a tenth of an inch—so not much to worry about! Just enough to remind us that winter weather sometimes likes to tease us a bit. With the humidity sitting at an average of 77%, you might have felt a touch of dampness in the air, but thankfully, there was no heavy cloud cover to obscure that beautiful sunshine!
Wind and Visibility
The winds were calm for most of the day, with a gentle shift coming from the north at a mere 5 to 8 mph. Visibility was excellent, clocking in at about 9 miles, so getting outside for a brisk walk or just enjoying the scenery was a delight. If you looked up during midday, you’d have spotted the sun perched high in the sky at noon, basking down upon us, reaching its peak at around 12:15 PM.
Attention to UV Levels
You might be surprised to learn that even on a cool day, the UV index peaked at 3. This means there’s a moderate health risk from unprotected sun exposure during those few hours of sunlight. So, if you’re planning to head outside, don’t forget that sunscreen, even in cooler weather!
Moonlit Evenings
As the sun dipped down and officially set at 5:16 PM, it marked the end of our sunlight for the day. But fear not, as the moon rose just after sunset at 5:30 PM, glowing in a beautiful waxing crescent phase. Perfect timing for an evening stroll under the moonlight!
Air Quality and Comfort
If you’re wondering how the air felt, good news! The air quality was reported as good, with no significant pollutants in sight, making it perfect for outdoor activities. The dew point was at a comfortable 38°F (3°C), so overall, the weather conditions presented a delightful winter day for those looking to enjoy some fresh air without severe weather alerts.
Wrapping it Up
In summary, December 9th turned out to be an unseasonably cold day in Newberry, SC, with plenty of sunshine, clear skies, and a refreshing chill in the air. While winter is just getting warmed up (or should we say, cooled down?), it’s essential to stay prepared for these breezy days ahead. So, grab your warmest coat, a hot cup of cocoa, and enjoy the beauty that this season brings!
