Climate chart - Cape Carbonara (Sardinia)
In Cape Carbonara, the climate is Mediterranean, with mild, rainy winters and hot, sunny summers.
As in the rest of Sardinia, both the mistral (cool, dry wind from the north-west) and the sirocco (warm, humid wind from the south-east) can blow. Indeed, this is a particularly windy area. Furthermore, the rains are very scarce, at the lowest levels in Italy.
The cape is located in the southeast of Sardinia, about 40 km (25 mi) southeast of Cagliari, and south of the city of Villasimius. To the north-west we find the Sette Fratelli massif, which reaches 1,023 meters (3,356 ft).
To the south of the cape we find the small Isola dei Cavoli ("Cabbage Island"), while to the north-east we find the Serpentara island. To the north we find the coast of Sarrabus-Gerrei, with the locality of Costa Rei.
In winter, the temperature very rarely drops below freezing. The record is -2.6 °C (27.3 °F), but it dates bsck to 1963. In January 1993, it snowed and the temperature dropped to -1 °C (30 °F).
In summer, when the sirocco blows, it can get very hot. The heat records in July and August are around 39/40 °C (102/104 °F).
