Weather

Sardinia has a mild Mediterranean climate, defined by hot, dry summers followed by mild winters with light rainfall. The island is renowned for its seven-month summer and in a good year you could be happily stretched out on the beaches in April and as late as October, when temperatures still hover around 20°C (68°F).

If you can, avoid visiting during the broiling, super-crowded months of July and August. In the depths of winter (November to February) some of the island goes into hibernation.
