Climate chart - Cagliari
In Cagliari, the climate is Mediterranean, with mild, rainy winters and hot, sunny summers.
The city is the capital of Sardinia and is located in the south of the island, on the coast of the Gulf of Angels (or Gulf of Cagliari).
The daily average temperature ranges from about 10 °C (50 °F) in January and February to about 26 °C (79 °F) in July and August.

The rainfall is not abundant, in fact, it slightly exceeds 400 millimeters (16 inches) per year; this happens because weather disturbances pass quickly and are soon replaced by the mistral, the northwest wind, fresh and dry, which blows from France. Cagliari is in fact one of the driest cities in Italy.

Winter, from December to February, is mild, and is characterized by sunny periods alternating with rainy periods.
It rarely get very cold, however, there may be a few cold days, with highs around 10 °C (50 °F) and lows around freezing, or even a few degrees below. The cold record is -5 °C (23 °F), recorded in January 1981.
Snow is very rare, however, snowfalls with accumulation occurred in February 1956, in January 1967, in January 1985 and January 1993.

Summer, from June to August, is hot and sunny, with very rare rains.
There are periods in which the temperatures are not too high and the breeze blows, however, heatwaves of African origin can sometimes occur: in these cases, it is possible for the temperature to reach or exceed 40 °C (104 °F).
The record is 44.6 °C (112.3 °F), set in July 2023. In August 2003, the average maximum was 35.8 °C (96.4 °F).
