If you’re an early riser, you’ll be pleased to know that temperatures will dip to around 30°F (-1°C) by 7:00 AM. But fear not! The sun is shining bright and will be making an appearance shortly after. By 8:00 AM, it will warm up to a cozy 33°F (1°C).

Come noon, we can look forward to 51°F (10°C) as we all gather for lunch. And by 1:00 PM, it’s going to feel downright lovely at 54°F (12°C). Just perfect for a stroll or a cup of hot cocoa!
Getting That Winter Warmth
While December is normally a bit cooler, Rock Hill’s average temperature usually floats around 53.1°F (11.7°C) for the highs and 39°F (3.9°C) for the lows. So, today’s clear and crisp conditions are right on track!
December typically brings about 3.46 inches (88 mm) of rainfall, so luckily, we won’t need to worry about umbrellas today. As for snow? Well, it’s not an annual feature here, with only an average of 0.87 inches (22 mm) of snowfall reported over the last few years.
Shortest Day of the Year
Fun fact for today—this is the shortest day of the year with sunrise around 7:31 AM and sunset at 5:23 PM. We’ll enjoy about 9 hours and 52 minutes of daylight, so make the most of it!
Sun Safety
And although the sun is out, remember that December’s UV index averages around 2, which means there’s a low health risk from sun exposure. A little sunscreen can go a long way, even in winter!
Upcoming Highlights
Mark your calendars! This afternoon, at 2:00 PM, Bluebelle Farms will host a delightful event titled “Dreaming of a White Christmas.” Bring the family along for an afternoon filled with gingerbread cookie decorating, a living nativity, and a fantastic Christmas vendor market.
