Climate chart - Rieti
The climate of Rieti can be defined as transitional Mediterranean, given that it has relatively cold winters and hot, sunny summers.
The city is located in central Italy, in the north-east of the Lazio region, 400 meters (1,300 feet) above sea level. We are on the south-eastern edge of the Rieti plain, a basin surrounded by mountains. To the east we find the Reatini Mountains, whose highest peak is Mount Terminillo, 2,217 metres (7,274 ft) high.

The winter, from December to February, is quite cold.
There are quite mild periods, in which the Atlantic currents prevail, during which there can also be rainy days.
In periods of high pressure, especially in December, fog can form, which can sometimes persist even during the day.
Instead, the cold wind from the north, the tramontana, can bring clear but cold days.
Snow in Rieti is more frequent than in the other cities of Lazio. In past decades, an average of 25 cm (10 in) of snow fell per year.
During cold snaps, the temperature can drop several degrees below freezing. In January 1985 it dropped to -20 °C (-4 °F), while in February 2012 it dropped to -14 °C (7 °F).
