The Climate in Umbria

The characteristics of the Umbria climate are those typical of the internal regions of the peninsular: the mediteranean climate is mildly present due to the fact the region is not near the sea. The Appenine Mountains are a barrier against the influences of the Adriatic, it isn’t easy for the cold air from the northeast to pass, with consequences also for the distribution of rainfall, that in general diminishes in the direction East – West.
In the major part of the region the temperature rarely reaches very low temeperatures, which can be seen in the typical mediteranean vegetation with the presence of species of Olive treeswhich do not tollerate intense, long cold spells. The annual rainfall is around 800 to 1200 mm, it grows with altitude by the number of days and amount and is concentrated more or less in autumn-winter, the month with less rain is July; therefore there are long hot and dry periods, from July to September.
