Climate chart - Asti
The climate of Asti is moderately continental, with cold, damp winters and hot, muggy summers.
The city is located in north-western Italy, in the Piedmont plain south of the Po, in an area where the Tanaro river passes between hills.
We are in the historic area of Monferrato. To the southwest is the city of Alba, capital of the Langhe, which has a similar climate.
Turin is located about 40 km (25 mi) to the northwest.

Winter, from December to February, is cold, humid and dull. Temperatures can remain around 0 °C (32 °F) even during the day, especially in December and January, and the sky remains overcast for many days.
Fog, which in the past was fairly frequent, has become rarer in recent decades, to the point that now, it only occurs in periods when the Atlantic high pressure system dominates.
Snow in Asti generally falls at least once every year. On average, 40 cm (15.5 in) of snow fall per year. In lower Piedmont, snow falls more often than in the area north of the Po, and it can also occur with cold currents from the north-east (as happens in Emilia). In January 1954, 95 cm (37.5 in) of snow fell in two days.
During cold spells, which are becoming rarer due to global warming, the temperature can drop to -10 °C (14 °F) or below. In February 1956 the temperature dropped to -19.5 °C (-3 °F), while in February 2012, just outside the city it dropped to -20.5 °C (-5 °F).

Asti

Summer, from June to August, is hot and muggy, and generally sunny.
The air feels hotter because of humidity and poor ventilation, conditions typical of the Po Valley.
During heat waves, which are becoming more frequent, the temperature can reach 36/37 °C (97/99 °F) or above. The temperature reached 40 °C (104 °F) in late June 2019 and in August 2017.
Sometimes there may be some rainy days even in summer, or thunderstorms may break out in the afternoon or in the evening.

Best Time


The best times to visit Asti are spring and early summer, particularly from mid-April to mid-June. September is also a good month. However, some rainy days must be taken into account in both periods.
Summer can be very hot, although it can give some acceptable days, especially in June. You have to take into account, in summer and sometimes in May, some afternoon or evening thunderstorms.
