The weather in Alghero

 

April to June

April can be a fantastic time to visit Sardinia, with the cold weather gone but the temperatures still not at unbearable levels of heat. Outdoor sport enthusiasts love this time of year, with monthly highs of 20 degrees ensuring great conditions for hiking, biking and horse riding. May welcomes the start of Sardinia's long sunshine hours and the occurrence of warmer temperatures. By June, the sea temperature is nice and warm, with air temperatures pushing into the mid to high-20s, seeing visitors starting to descend to the beaches. 

 

July & August

The two peak holiday months in Alghero and Sardinia as a whole, and for good reason too. You'll enjoy the island's hottest temperatures of the year across this period, recording an average high that pushes into the low-30s. Naturally, the beaches around Alghero, such as Speranza Beach (pictured below), become the focal point of the holidays of locals and foreigners alike. It is in the searing heat of August that you'll be grateful for having a pool at your villa or hotel.

 

September & October

As the peak holiday season tails off, September and October present two wonderful months for heading to Alghero and exploring the rest of the island. The temperatures will still be pleasant, hovering around the mid-20s, and the sea will still be relatively warm for those hoping to catch a late beach break. October, like April and May, is another great month for hiking and other outdoor activities, and while you may not be treated to the picturesque qualities provided by spring, the landscapes of the island will still appear majestic.
