The climate of Massa is Mediterranean, with mild, rainy winters and warm, sunny summers.
The rains are abundant, in fact they amount to 1,200 millimeters (47 inches) per year. The rainiest period is from October to December.
The city is the capital of the province of Massa-Carrara and is located in the north-west of Tuscany, a short distance from the coast of the Ligurian Sea. The city of Carrara is located 4 km (2.5 mi) to the northwest.
To the north are the Apuane Alps, a mountain range that actually belongs to the Apennines and is famous for its marble quarries. To the north-west lies the Gulf of Sarzana.
The locality of Marina di Massa, now in fact part of the city, is considered the northernmost of Versilia.

Winter, from December to February, is mild, with sunny periods but also periods of bad weather.
Snow in Massa is rare, however, during the most intense cold spells, snow can occasionally occur.
Typically, the temperature drops slightly below freezing on the coldest nights, however, in January 1985 it reached -7 °C (19.5 °F).

Massa

Summer, from June to August, is warm to hot and sunny.
Generally, the heat is not excessive because of the sea breeze, but we cannot exclude some particularly sultry periods, with highs of 32/33 °C (90/91 °F). In August 1981, the temperature reached 37 °C (98.5 °F).
Some weather disturbances may pass over the city even in summer, especially in June and in late August. Given the location between the mountains and the sea, violent thunderstorms can break out from time to time, perhaps accompanied by tornadoes.
Autumn is very rainy, and sometimes there can be floods.

Best Time


The best times to visit Massa are spring and early summer, in particular, from mid-April to mid-June. September, too, is a good month, especially in the first half, while later, Atlantic depressions become more frequent.
In the height of summer, in July and August, it can be hot, although less frequently than in other parts of Italy.
For a beach holiday, the best months are exactly July and August.
