Sicily weather reviews

Martha, May 2023
Sicily in May is quite rainy, this should be taken into account when going on a trip. The daily heat norm is +15-18°C, the sun is an extremely rare guest. An interesting corner of Italy where Greek, Italian, and even Arabic culture harmoniously combines. You should definitely try the local cuisine, it’s tasty and quite cheap. In the evening I want to dress warmly; the thermometer is on average at +12°C.
Anna, May 2023
The vacation fell in the first half of May, we went to Italy for a week. Sicily in the spring is amazing, there is not yet a large influx of tourists, the weather is good, it’s beautiful. For those going to the sea, perhaps it’s a little early, the water is still cool, about +18, depending on the weather. Almost all days of rest were sunny up to +21. On the day of departure it started to rain and it became noticeably cool, about +14 degrees. May is the perfect month for sightseeing.
