Climate Overview
Campania has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Coastal areas benefit from sea breezes that moderate summer heat. The mountains inland (such as the Apennines that edge the region) receive more rainfall and occasional snow in winter. The Amalfi Coast and Gulf of Naples islands enjoy some of the mildest winters in Italy.
