The climate of Ajaccio (France)
The town of Ajaccio is the largest and the capital of the Isle of
Corsica, snugly situated in a bay just a little more land inward and
surrounded by hills grown over with olive- and orange trees.
Owing to this in the winter Ajaccio is well-protected against the cold
north wind and the temperature decreases below zero only a few times.
In the summer this causes extreme heat every now and then when the
wind dies down. Besides this native town of the great emperor Napoleon
Bonaparte has a lovely Mediterranean climate with mild winters and
splendid summers.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
