Weather In Corsica

Corsica’s Mediterranean climate can bring drought and temperatures in excess of 35°C during summer and its mild, rainy winters can yield snow on its high peaks.

Corsica is marked by three climates and travellers should be aware to take altitude into account. Going inland from the beaches’ maritime Mediterranean climate, the land rises to mountain weather in the lower ranges and valleys. Corsica’s highest peak reaches 3,000 metres and at these altitudes, the mountain climate can bring alpine conditions.

Summer

Beach and water lovers can take advantage of travel most of the year, as the summer season is five months long, while the weather in other seasons is usually mild. At sea level, average temperatures are often higher than 25°C between June and September, while it can really sizzle in July and August.

Other seasons

Autumn and spring are moderate, with average temperatures hovering between 18°C and 21°C. The coldest time of year is January through March, with the average temperature at 14°C at sea level. Corsica’s driest time is May through September; March, April, October and November see the most rainfall. Winter temperatures are still moderate.
