Weather in Le Marche, Italy

The Le Marche Climate is categorised as Mediterranean, the weather in this region of Italy having hot summers and cool winters but whatever the season, the weather in Marche provides the visitor to Villa San Raffaello with a beautiful backdrop to this ever changing landscape.

Spring

From Mid March temperatures often shoot up into the 20's and most days are filled with warm sunshine, however the region tends to have one or two cooler days each month with rain or drizzle. Night temperatures can still be quite cool.

Summer

Summer is hot and dry and, after a few light showers in May, there is normally very little rain until late September. Some years, after very hot weather from mid July to mid August, brief but spectacular electric storms may occur. Whilst these can be accompanied with heavy downpours, they often occur without rain.

Autumn

This season is warm and balmy and amazingly beautiful. The majority of the time the weather is still good with temperatures still over the 20 mark into November and sometimes December. The landscape colouring becomes more vivid with bright yellows, oranges, reds and russets, illuminated by the spectacular sunsets at this time of the year. It is time for harvesting grapes and olives, for the wild boar hunting and for collecting an abundance of wild treats from nuts to mushrooms and truffles.

Winter

Snow begins to fall on the mountains in late November/early December and gradually falls at lower altitudes as the winter progresses.  The atmosphere is drier than in Northern Europe as the winter sun is higher in the sky and will warm you, irrespective of cold air temperatures. Whilst the ski season at 1500m can last 3 months or more, the snow at low altitudes usually lasts a couple of days. Although snow chains or special tyres are obligatory in mountain areas during winter, the commune's are very adept at keeping all roads passable and they are rarely required around Sarnano and the Villa.
