Golf, Vesuvius, and the sea breeze: What is the climate like in Naples?

Naples is situated on the Gulf, between the sea and a volcano, and benefits from both. The Tyrrhenian Sea keeps winters exceptionally mild: Even in January, daytime temperatures reach a long-term average of 13 degrees, while nighttime temperatures are around 5 degrees; frost is an absolute rarity. In summer, average highs in August are 31 degrees, and nights remain warm at 21 degrees. The sea breeze brings relief in the afternoon, while conditions inland around Caserta become significantly more oppressive. The hottest days occur when Scirocco, when Saharan air moves across the Mediterranean; then temperatures in the Gulf can also exceed 38 degrees, and fine desert dust hangs in the air. Most of the rain falls between October and January, often in short, heavy showers; November is the wettest month, with a good 150 millimeters. Anyone heading to the Vesuvius Note: It's always windier and cooler up there than in the city, so sturdy shoes and a jacket are a must. The weather data is from Capodichino Airport on the northern outskirts of the city.
