Naples Weather

Weather in Naples - Perfect, sunny, hot Mediterranean climate
Situated on the west of Italy in the Campania region, Naples enjoys a perfect Mediterranean climate, with dreamy hot summers and mild wet winters. With long hours of sunshine and high temperatures, a holiday to Naples is a delight at any time of year.  Temperatures can rise to above 30°C on the hottest days in Naples, so if you plan to visit Naples in the height of the Italian summer come prepared for heat and moderate humidity. The Campania region is situated along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea - coastal areas are on average hotter so if you head inland or to higher altitudes expect cooler temperatures. Throughout the summer, the welcome cool of the evening brings the city alive, and dining al fresco at night is a treat enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.

Naples Weather - Spring and autumn
Often the best times to visit Naples are during the spring and autumn, before the peak tourist season hits the region, along with the scorching summer temperatures. April to June and September to October are the ideal months, with temperatures hovering between a pleasant 18°C to 25°C. Rainfall in spring brings a glorious explosion of vegetation to the region, which is the perfect climate to support citrus fruits. The hot temperatures and sunshine are the starting point for the many Campania vineyards, which produce strong, heady and delicious wine.
