Climate Chart of Corsica, France

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean temperature occurs in February, at 10.8 °C; this describes the month's average, not the temperature visitors should expect at a particular time of day. The warmest monthly means are shared by July / August, at 25.3 °C. These monthly averages outline the broad temperature range, but do not indicate daytime maximums or day-to-day variability. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 17.4 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly average in November, at 4.63 mm/day. This is a daily mean, not a monthly rainfall total, and does not show how often rain falls or how much any individual wet day brings. The lowest monthly mean daily rainfall is in July, at 0.36 mm/day; that average does not guarantee rain-free days. The unweighted mean across monthly mean daily rainfall figures is 2.26 mm/day, rather than a day-weighted annual average.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in July, at 13.19 hours/day. It is a measure of average sunshine hours, not daylight length or a guarantee of clear skies on a given day. The lowest monthly mean daily sunshine duration occurs in December, at 6.47 hours/day, providing a useful contrast for planning around average sunshine rather than day length. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily sunshine figures is 9.79 hours/day; it should not be read as a day-weighted annual average.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in February, at 1.04 mm/day. This records an average amount, not the number of snowy days, snow depth, snow cover or whether conditions support skiing. The unweighted mean across the monthly mean daily snowfall figures is 0.14 mm/day; this average alone cannot describe how snowfall is distributed from day to day.
