Climate chart - Macerata
The climate of Macerata can be described as transitional Mediterranean, since it has relatively mild winters and hot, sunny summers.
Sometimes, especially in winter, the cold wind can blow from the plains of Eastern Europe. On other occasions, the garbino, the warm wind that comes down from the mountains, can blow.
The city is located in central Italy, between the Chienti and Potenza rivers, at an altitude of 250-310 meters (800-1,000 feet) and 20 km (12 mi) away from the coast of the Adriatic Sea.

Winter, from December to February, is quite mild, however, due to the altitude and distance from the sea, it is a little colder than on the coast.
Snow in Macerata is not very frequent, however, during cold air irruptions from the north-east, with the humid air from the sea rising as it meets the Apennines, sometimes snowfalls can be abundant. In past decades, an average of 45 cm (17.5 in) of snow fell per year. The snow reached 80 cm (31.5 in) in height in January 2005.
During cold spells, which are becoming rarer due to global warming, the temperature can drop by several degrees below freezing.

Macerata

The summer, from June to August, is hot and sunny, with rare rainy days and a few thunderstorms coming from the Apennines.
The humidity is not as high as on the coast, however, due to the distance from the sea it can get very hot, especially when the wind blows from the southwest. In August 2017, the temperature reached as high as 43.4 °C (110 °F).
