San Vito Lo Capo weather: sea, history and nature to be discovered over the year
San Vito Lo Capo, at the northwestern tip of Sicily, has an unique and extraordinary weather. It is not a coincidence that many visitors choose to settle in San Vito lo Capo over the year.
In San Vito summer is not just a season but a very long period that goes from March to November, months where elsewhere it is unthinkable to even walk in shirt sleeves.
Along the coast temperatures are higher than in other areas of Sicily and this feature makes San Vito Lo Capo a desired destination even in the coldest months.
Spring:
With a temperature ranging from 19 to 34 degrees, spring wins the title of perfect season for those who love sports and want to enjoy the sea and nature without suffering too high temperatures.
But spring is also the time for town festivals and celebrations.
One of the most fascinating, between sacred and profane, is the historic Procession of the Via Crucis, called “Misteri”. This event, in Trapani, has been taking place for over 400 years at the Holy Friday.
Summer:
During summer the temperature ranges between 26 and 42 degrees. It’s hot, but it has all the requisites to be the funniest season.
Summer is life, the beach is filled by visitors, the cafes in town are teemed by curious palates and then there is this wonderful feeling of being welcomed in a large village inhabited by a community that opens up to tourists, offering unique life experiences.
One of these is a boat trip that you can take with the fishermen of the town, who in the summer are happy to show the hidden treasures along the San Vito coast to tourists, from the Lighthouse to the Tonnara, from Monte Cofano to Isulidda.
Autumn:
Autumn temperatures in San Vito Lo Capo are between 16 and 28 degrees, the weather is mild and sweet is the summer memory, which can be read on the tired faces of restaurateurs, always happy to welcome new customers.
Autumn has a perfect weather for sportsmen. The dry cliffs and the warmth of morning are an excellent starting for climbing. But also biking and trekking become pleasant in this season, in the absence of very high temperatures.
But autumn is also beautiful for exploring the area nearby. Wine lovers can dedicate themselves to visiting the numerous wineries, travelling among the Sicilian hills and appreciating the colors of the vineyards during the harvest final period.
Winter:
Let’s dispel a myth: San Vito Lo Capo during the winter is not “empty and dull”!
Most travelers associate San Vito Lo Capo with its gorgeous pinkish sand.
Just the thought of winter is enough to trigger the unconditional reflection of a gloomy and desolate San Vito. Instead we reveal a secret: San Vito during winter is beautiful!
Because it offers us the freshest and most natural landscape.
Because nature regenerates itself in its sweet sleep.
Because in winter San Vito offers mild days and unforgettable landscapes, walks on the beach or simply in town, with the warmth of the San Vito inhabitants who converse and meet.
Because the fishermen, crouched on the sidewalks, sew very long nets which seem to weave siren hair.
Romantic people dine by candlelight in winter, pampered by a human scale country and by a cold that is not so cold.
In every season of the year, San Vito lo Capo amazes and satisfies every sense.
