The climate of the island of Giglio
Giglio’s maritime climate ensures mild temperatures all year round.
The climate is typical of the northern Mediterranean, with moderately rainy autumns and winters, always mild, and dry and hot summers. Already in March you can have warm and sunny days, but spring also reserves rainy days and low clouds, which pile up on the highest peaks of the island, also enveloping Giglio Castello.
Winds for all seasons
The wind represents a constant on Giglio, with only about a month and a half a year when there is no wind.
The winds can also cause problems for maritime connections when strong Grecale winds blow into the harbour and prevent the ferry from docking and casting off (a situation which fortunately is rare on Giglio, especially in the winter months).
There are only six days a year with more than 5 wind forces.
During the summer, there are breezes and light winds from Mistral, Ponente and Scirocco, the others are less frequent.
The Libecciate winds give us the most spectacular sunsets with a horizon full of new, imaginative clouds and the silhouette of Montecristo on the horizon, framed by the Bay of Campese – one of the most beautiful sunsets in Italy. The Maestrale and Tramontana winds often sweep away the clouds and make the air so clear that you can even see Corsica, Elba and the Maremma coast.

Wind Rose - Italian Windnames
The origins of the Italian wind names are to be found at the time when Venice was the dominant maritime republic in the eastern Mediterranean. As a reference, the wind rose was placed on the Greek island of Zakynthos. From there the name of the winds such as the Libeccio that blows from Libya or the origin of the name Scirocco, intended as a wind coming from Syria

Tramontana
It is a cold wind coming from the north, which blows violently causing sudden changes in temperature. The origins of the term tramontana are linked to various local traditions.
Grecale
The grecale (bora) is a cold and dry wind that blows with strong intensity, coming from the North-East, typical of the winter season. Its name derives from the direction in which it blows (Greece).
Levante
The Levant (Orient) is a generally weak wind that blows from East to West in the Mediterranean. The wind originates in the center of the Mediterranean
to reach maximum intensity across the Strait of Gibraltar. It is a cool and humid wind, a bringer of fog and precipitation.
Scirocco
The sirocco is a warm wind coming from the South-East, that is, from the Sahara and other regions of North Africa. The sirocco takes its name from Syria, the direction from which the wind blows. It arises from dry tropical air masses dragged northward by low pressure areas moving eastward.
Ostro
Ostro (midday) is the name of the traditional wind that blows from the south in the Mediterranean Sea. The Ostro is the warm and humid wind that brings rain.
Libeccio
The libeccio (gherbino – africo) is a wind that blows from the South West, which accompanies great days of heat. As the origin of the name it takes Libya, from where the wind blows.
