Climate chart - Pescara
The climate of Pescara is almost Mediterranean. In fact, exposure to the cold winds of Eastern Europe makes the winter, at least in certain situations, a little colder than in the classic Mediterranean climate. On the other hand, the summer is hot and sunny.
The city is located in central Italy, in the Abruzzo region and on the Adriatic coast.

The average temperature of the coldest month (January) is of 7 °C (44.5 °F), that of the warmest months (July and August) is of 24 °C (75 °F).

Precipitation amounts to 660 millimeters (26 inches) per year.

The winter, from December to February, is quite mild. In periods of good weather, fog can form.
There are mild periods, in which Atlantic currents prevail, and the temperature reaches 15 °C (59 °F), during which there can also be rainy days. When the warm wind from the south-west (Garbino) blows, which comes down from the Apennines, the temperature can reach and exceed 20 °C (68 °F) even in the middle of winter. In both months of January when the temperature dropped below -10 °C (14 °F), January 1979 and January 1985 (see below), at the end of the month, thanks to the Garbino, the temperature reached 23 °C (73.5 °F).
On the other hand, the wind from Eastern Europe, sometimes even in March, can bring about cold periods, in which snow can also fall. In February 2012, it snowed for nine days, and the snow reached half a meter (20 inches) of height.
Given the location on the coast, frosts are generally not intense, and on the coldest nights of the year, the temperature does not go below -4/-5 °C (23/25 °F). However, during the most intense cold spells, it dipped lower.
The temperature reached -12.5 °C (9.5 °F) in February 1956, -8 °C (17.5 °F) in January 1963, -9.5 °C (15 °F) in January 1967, -13 °C (8.5 °F) in January 1979 (record), -9 °C (16 °F) in January 1981, -11.5 °C (11.5 °F) in January 1985, -7 °C (19.5 °F) in March 1987, and -8 °C (17.5 °F) in December 2010.

Pescara

The summer, from June to August, is hot and sunny, with rare rainy days and a few thunderstorms coming from the Apennines. Generally, it is less hot than in Rome, and the breeze blows from the sea in the afternoon, however, there can be hot and sultry periods, moreover, sometimes the Garbino can bring some torrid days.
The temperature reached 40 °C (104 °F) in July 1983, in August 1988, in August 1994, in July 2000, and in mid-September 2015, and 41 °C (106 °F) in August 2017.
