Climate and Weather of Sorrento, Italy

The climate of Sorrento

According to Justinshoes.net, Sorrento is a small town near Naples. It was once one of the first tourist destinations in Italy, partly because of its location near Naples, the ancient city of Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast. Sorrento is still a popular cruise ship dock and daily ferry services depart from Sorrento to nearby Capri and the villages of the Amalfi Coast. The center of Sorrento mainly consists of small narrow streets with nice shops where you can buy all kinds of souvenirs. If you visit the city, be sure to visit Corso Italia, the nicest shopping street in Sorrento. The climate of Sorrento is partly determined by its location in the Bay of Naples on the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Mediterranean climate of Sorrento can be experienced as pleasant all year round. In the summer months the mercury can sometimes rise above thirty degrees Celsius for longer periods, but on these days the ever-present sea breeze provides the necessary cooling. The narrow streets of the city lack this cooling wind, so it’s better to find a spot on the beach or at the pool during the hottest part of the day. The winter months are the wettest months of the year. The average precipitation in this period is higher than we are used to in the Netherlands. Fortunately, this is accompanied by temperatures that are also on average above ten degrees Celsius in the winter period.
