Climate
Pompeii has a Mediterranean climate, meaning that summers are sunny and hot, but they are tempered by a soft sea breeze. The Mediterranean does bring a lot of rain and the whole west coast of Italy gets more rainfall than anywhere else in the country. The months in which Pompeii receives the most rain are November through until February, which also gets cold because of the inland-blowing winds. The coldness of the winter (though it is still mild by most standards) means Pompeii is usually not very busy during these months.
