Umbria Region Weather

Umbria Weather - Perfect for low season holidays
The weather in Umbria is characterised by its geographical location. A landlocked region nestling between high mountains and rolling hills and lakes it is known as "the green heart of Italy." It enjoys a typically Mediterranean climate during summer, dry and warm with mild winters at sea level. Umbria has ideal conditions year round for exploring its beautiful countryside with low humidity and relatively pleasant daytime winter temperatures. Fine, dry weather commences in early spring with clear skies continuing until November making Umbria a perfect off season destination.

Weather in Umbria - An ideal summer climate
Although fine and dry, summertime can see some rain which tends to be brief rather than steady downpours and normally occurs in the early summer months when the rich countryside vegetation is at its most colourful. Temperatures reach 26c on average and the sun invariably shines for up to 8 hours a day. This is an ideal climate for exploring nature on foot or bicycle. Nightime temperatures fall to a pleasant 12c but can become very chilly at altitude. Springtime sees crisp, clean air quality, blue skies and warm days at 18c.

Umbria Weather - Mild and pleasant winters
There are much fewer visitors during winter months and the climate becomes much cooler although temperatures rarely ever fall below freezing at low altitude. With 5 - 8c during the day and sunshine for 4 hours a day, activities and sightseeing can still be enjoyed without a chill factor and early mornings are often accompagnied by bright blue skies. Rainfall is more common with the east of Umbria experiencing more frequent showers. This mountainous region receives snow cover in midwinter which can last until early spring, but it also acts as a welcome barrier protecting the lowlands from harsher winter weather arriving from the north east.
