Climate chart - Sanremo
The climate of Sanremo, a city in western Liguria, is Mediterranean, with mild, relatively rainy winters and warm, sunny summers.
The city is located on the Western Ligurian Coast ("Riviera di Ponente"), 20 km (12 mi) from the border with France.
We are in an area that has a particularly mild climate: the average temperature of January, as high as 10.5 °C (51 °F), is found again only in Southern Italy, while in summer, hot days are rare. It is no surprise that the city is famous for the cultivation of flowers, in addition, there are plenty of palm trees and subtropical species.
On the other hand, the wind blows quite frequently.
Here are the average temperatures.

Winter, from December to February, is mild. In particular, periods of high pressure are pleasant, when the sun shines, and the temperature can reach or exceed 15 °C (59 °F), while the Po valley is shrouded in mist and maybe in frost.
In periods of bad weather, it can be a bit cold, but snow is very rare: for example, it snowed in February 1986 and in February 2010. Frosts are also very rare and almost always light: the temperature may very well remain above freezing (0 °C or 32 °F) for a whole winter. From 2004 to 2020, the temperature only dropped to -1.6 °C (29.1 °F) at the beginning of March 2005.

Spring, from March to May, is mild and increasingly sunnier, although there are also some rainy days.

Summer, from June to August, is warm and sunny. Generally, the heat is not excessive, thanks to the influence of the sea: it is even rare for the temperature to reach 32/33 °C (90/91 °F), however, some sultry periods or some hot days can not be excluded.
Some weather fronts may pass over the city even in summer, especially in June and in late August, while on sunny days, some heat thunderstorms can reach the coast from the interior, but normally, the sun shines.

Autumn, from September to November, is mild and humid, with sunny days, but also periods of bad weather.

Best Time


The best times to visit Sanremo 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 on the Western Ligurian Riviera, the best months are exactly July and August.
