Chattogram Weather in December

December weather in Chattogram

December feels mild and mostly dry in Chattogram. Afternoons reach about 25°C, while evenings cool to around 16°C. Rain is rare, and the bright skies make city walks and day trips easier than in November, which is wetter.

You can visit Foy's Lake, explore the old streets near Anderkilla, or spend time at Patenga Beach without planning around frequent showers. The sea can still feel rough, so don't count on calm swimming. If you're heading to the hills around the city, check local conditions before setting off.

What's on in December

Victory Day on December 16 brings ceremonies and patriotic events across Bangladesh. In Chattogram, you may see people gathering at memorials and public spaces. Christmas on December 25 is also observed by Christian communities, though it's not a major citywide festival.

Travelling with kids? A walk around Foy's Lake is an easy way to fill a sunny afternoon without a long trip out of the city.

Crowds, costs and local tips

December is a popular time to travel in Bangladesh, thanks to the dry, comfortable weather. Chattogram is usually less crowded than nearby Cox's Bazar, but hotels and transport can be busier around public holidays. Prices may be higher than in wetter months, especially for trips toward the coast.

For a meal that's distinctly local, try mezban beef, a rich dish often served at community feasts. Ask about it at a Chattogram restaurant rather than expecting it on every menu. If you're visiting Patenga, allow extra time for the road there: traffic can slow the trip, especially near the beach in the evening.
