Weather Details
The gentle northwest winds, blowing at about 5 to 10 mph, added a slight chill to the air, reminding everyone that winter is still upon us. High humidity levels reaching approximately 80% created a mugginess that felt more like spring than the traditional winter we expect during this season.

As for sunset, things quieted down with the sun expected to dip below the horizon at 5:20 PM. While some planned to take in the sight of the sunset on this festive day, the likelihood of rain could put a damper on evening strolls.
Local outdoor activities often associated with Christmas Day—such as cheerful family gatherings in local parks or festive community events—may have encountered some hiccups due to the wet weather.

Impact on Festivities
In light of the weather conditions, many families opted to stay indoors, finding warmth and comfort in their homes instead. These cozy settings allowed for family bonding over classic Christmas movies or curling up with some hot cocoa while exchanging gifts.
