In general, the climate of Italy can be described as subtropical. However, there are clear differences in individual regions. In the north, the Alps and the Apennines limit the influence of the Mediterranean Sea. Winters are rather cold. In the cities of the Po river plain sometimes even snow is falling and it is frosty. From November to January, long periods of fog often occur. The summers are long and hot, the humidity is high. In central Italy, where the influence of the Mediterranean is greater, a winter is mild and a summer warm to hot.
In the south of Italy the temperatures are the whole year warm, here you find a typical Mediterranean climate. Autumn is long and the winters are quite moist and mild, during the day the temperature is from 10 to 15 degrees. The summer can be very hot. The temperature exceeds 40 degrees. Due to low rainfall, periods of drought are often a serious problem. In the far south and Sicily, insolation is about 2000 hours, in the central part of Italy 1700 hours and in the north around 1250 hours. A sunny country is welcoming you!
