THE CLIMATE

It is decidedly Mediterranean, with hot summers and short and mild winters. The hours of the sunshine on average are 2500, againts the 2000 of mainland Italy - and the 1800 of northern France. The not very abundant precipitations are concentrated in winter months from October to March. The highest temperatures are in July and August - average 26 degrees Celsius - and the lowest from December to February - average 10-14 degrees Celsius.
The water temperature varies from about 16 degrees Celsius in winter to 27 in summer. For a trip in Sicily, which is not limited to bathing purposes, we recommend the spring and autumn months, in particular the periods from the middle of April to the middle of June and September-October.
