Weather:December is very cold and is thedriest month of the year. The average total monthly precipitation is 50 mm, and there is rain or snow about nine days of the month.

This drier weather is good for hikers. You'll still be able to see the snow covering the mountains since it melts very slowly given the low temperatures. Thesnow highlights the stark featuresof the mountains and vegetation producing a beautiful effect.

The average nightly low temperature is -3 °C (27 °F), and the average daily high temperature is 4 °C (39 °F). Since the three main 1,800m+ peaks are a kilometer higher than the lower regions of the park, they are 6+°C (11+°F) colder.

It is sunny about 5 hours a day on average, and the UV index is moderate. The relative humidity is 62% on average.Yellow Mountains local weather forecast>>

The peaks' famed'sea of clouds'is seen relatively more frequently in winter, when warmer moist air from the sea is forced upwards by the mountains and cools.

Clothing:Wear a warm coat and gloves and dress in layers. Anti-slip walking boots are important. We recommend using crampons when icy. These can be rented at the base of the mountains.
