Even though it’s already June, it seems like summer is still hesitant to arrive, and there are still those cooler days when the sun seems to be playing hide and seek. In today’s article, we will learn more about the weather in Cefalù and the forecasts for today and the coming days.
To start, we want to ask a question: have you ever wondered when weather forecasting began? What we know is that weather forecasting dates back more than 100 years, to 1904, when a great Norwegian meteorologist first articulated the principle that forms the basis of modern weather forecasting.
But how are weather forecasts made? Weather forecasting begins with the collection of quantitative data regarding the current state of the atmosphere (the situation), followed by the scientific understanding of atmospheric processes to estimate the evolution of the atmosphere using various possible techniques.
That said, before diving into the actual weather in Cefalù, we want to briefly discuss Sicily and its climate. Here, we have a predominantly Mediterranean climate, which means that generally, there are hot and dry summers and mild winters with some precipitation. However, it’s important to note that the weather and temperatures always depend on where you are on the island. For example, in the areas around Mount Etna, the climate is much cooler compared to the coast.
Knowing the Weather in Cefalù for Today, Tomorrow, and the Coming Days
Talking about summer, we know that here you can enjoy a nice warm climate where the average temperature in July and August is around 30/32°C, but don’t be surprised to see peaks reaching up to 40°C. These peaks are often caused by the “Scirocco,” the hot wind that comes from the desert and blows from North Africa to Sicily.
In summer, the sea has a temperature of about 25°C, which is perfect for swimming or just cooling off on a hot summer day. July is the month with the least precipitation, followed by June and August, which have about 2 days of rain per month.
Now, getting to the core of the article, let’s talk about the weather forecasts for today, tomorrow, and the coming days. Today, Wednesday, June 5, it seems that the African anticyclone Scipio is arriving, which will characterize the day with good weather conditions where the sun will be predominant, and the sky will be only partially cloudy. However, it is certain that in the more inland areas of Sicily, a thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. As for temperatures, we know that the highs will reach up to 32°C, while the lows will remain fairly stable overall.
