Climate in Tempio Pausania (Sardinia)

In Tempio Pausania, the climate is almost Mediterranean, with quite 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 town is located in the north of Sardinia, at an altitude of 565 metres (1,855 ft), in the province of Sassari, in the Gallura area.
Due to its position on the northwest side of a mountain massif, the rains are more abundant than in other areas of Sardinia.
In addition, the altitude cools the climate slightly, and in winter, during cold air irruptions, it can sometimes snow. In February 1956, the temperature dropped to -8.5 °C (16.5 °F).
In summer, on the other hand, when the sirocco blows it can get very hot, and in the worst moments, the temperatures can reach 38/40 °C (100/104 °F).
