The climate of Sardinia (Italy)
Sardinia is an island situated in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Corsica and west of the boot of Italy. The capital is Cagliari, other places on the island are Sassini, Nuoro, Olbia and Oristano. The island has several ports. Because of its situation in the Mediterranean Sea the island was conquered several times throughout history. With a surface area of 24,000 square kilometers Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea; Sicily is the largest. The Marghini Goceano mountain range stretches out from east to west over the island. The Iglesiente mountain range is situated in the south west; and the Capoterra mountain range is situated to the south-west of Cagliari. Sardinia has a subtropical Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters. However, during the winter snow may fall in the interior in the higher regions. The climate is influenced by a sea wind and the mistral which comes from South-France and may last for a few days.

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:
