The climate of Genoa (Italy)
Genoa or Genova in Italian is a large port in the north-western part
of Italy located on the Ligurian Sea. During Roman times this was one
of the most important ports of the Mediterranean Sea. The city has a
historical center with many monuments. Among them are: the Cathedral
di san Lorenzo, Palazzo Reale, Palazzo San Giorgio, La Laterne and la
Casa di Christoffel Columbo. Christopher Columbus is probably the most
famous Genoese. The city is beautifully situated on the Mediterranean
Sea, like an Amphitheater against the slopes. Many beautiful old
suburbs can be found in Genoa with a mishmash of alleys where you can
enjoy the Italian cuisine. Many restaurants can be found at the old
harbour. Jazz enthusiasts are in the right place in Genoa. One of the
oldest Jazz cafés can be found here. Genoa has a moderate climate.
During the summer temperatures will be around 25 degrees Celsius. An
ever blowing sea breeze offers some cooling. Winters are mild in Genoa
with heavy rainstorms every now and then. Subzero temperatures are
uncommon.

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:
