The weather in Le Marche

The weather

The weather is often the most important factor for anyone planning a holiday in Le Marche. As long as it's warm (but not too hot) and the sun is shining, most people are happy. We’re often asked questions like: “Is it always this warm in summer?”, “What’s the weather like in spring – can we swim in the sea or the pool?”, or “How cold does it get in winter? Does it snow here?”

Good questions – and while we can usually give you an idea, it’s never 100% predictable. Not even in Italy. Below you’ll find a general idea of what to expect each season:
