Climate chart - Crotone
The climate of Crotone is Mediterranean, with mild, relatively rainy winters and hot, sunny summers.
The city is located in southern Italy, in the Calabria region, on the coast of the Ionian Sea, near the easternmost point of the region (Capo Colonna).
Winter, from December to February, is mild, and is characterized by sunny periods alternating with rainy periods.
Despite the mild climate, given the position on the Ionian side, there can sometimes be cold and windy periods, generally of short duration, with highs of around 5 °C (41 °F), and during which there may even be a light snowfall or rain mixed with snow.
However, to see the beaches covered with snow, you have to wait several years. For example, this happened in December 1991 and December 2001.
Generally, the temperature drops to a minimum of -2 °C (28 °F) during cold spells, although in the past, at the Isola Capo Rizzuto airport, it dropped to lower values: in February 1956 it dropped to -7.7 °C (18 °F), while in January 1979 it dropped to -6.2 °C (20.8 °F).

Crotone

Best Time


To visit Crotone, you can choose the periods from mid-April to mid-May and from mid-September to mid-October, since in summer it can get very hot. It must be said that in both periods there may be rainy days.
The best months for a beach holiday on the coast are July and August. In June, the days are long and the weather is often good, but the sea is still a bit cool. You can still go in September, in fact the sea is still quite warm, but the days get shorter and the first waves of bad weather can occur, especially in the second half of the month.
