Palermo's Climate

Palermo is the capital of Sicily, set on the northwestern coast of Italy's largest Mediterranean island. It has a classic Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Summers (June–September) are intensely sunny and rain-free, usually 28–33°C, and the hot scirocco wind off the Sahara can occasionally push highs past 35°C. Winters (December–February) are gentle and showery, with daytime temperatures around 12–16°C and frost almost unheard of thanks to the moderating sea. Spring and autumn are mild, comfortable and the loveliest times to visit.
