Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at Portoferraio, 8 km from the airport (EBA): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

February: quieter than usual. Busiest from June to September; quietest in January, March, November and December.

What to pack

  • Warm layers for the evenings, which drop to about 9°C.
  • A packable rain jacket for the 6 or so rainy days.
  • Sun protection: about 8 hours of sunshine a day.
  • Humidity averages 77%; breathable fabrics dry faster.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.
