Climate chart - Sassari
In Sassari, the climate is Mediterranean, with mild, rainy winters and hot, sunny summers.
As in the rest of Sardinia, both the mistral (cool, dry wind from the north-west) and the sirocco (warm, humid wind from the south-east) can blow.
The city is located in the north-west of Sardinia, at an altitude of 225 metres (740 fet). About 15 km (9 mi) to the north-west is Porto Torres, and further north is the island of Asinara, while to the south-west is Alghero.
Winter, from December to February, is mild, and is characterized by sunny periods alternating with rainy periods.
Temperatures are similar to those recorded at sea level, however, during cold spells they decrease a little more.
For this reason, snow in Sassari is very rare, but it is a little less rare than at sea level. For example, in January 2017 it snowed in Sassari and not in Alghero.
In general, the temperature drops to -1/-2 °C (28/30 °F) in the coldest periods. In February 2010 it dropped to -4 °C (25 °F).

Summer, from June to August, is hot and sunny, with very rare rains. The sea breeze tempers the heat in the afternoon, but brings humid air. Unlike in winter, temperatures are more or less the same as at sea level, actually, they can sometimes be a little higher.
There can be hot and sultry periods, especially from late July to late August, when the sea is warmer.
Furthermore, heatwaves of African origin can sometimes occur: in these cases, it is possible for the temperature to reach or exceed 40 °C (104 °F). It reached 44 °C (111 °F) in July 2009 and 43 °C (109.5 °F) in August 2017.

Best Time


To visit Sassari, you can choose the periods from mid-April to mid-May and from mid-September to mid-October, since in summer it can get very hot. It must be said that in both periods there may be rainy days.
The best months for a beach holiday are July and August. In June, the days are longer and the weather is often good, but the sea is still a bit cool. You can still go in September, in fact the sea is still quite warm, but the days get shorter and the first waves of bad weather can occur, especially in the second half of the month.
