Monterosso, like the rest of the Cinque Terre, enjoys an exceptionally mild climate, with summers that are hot but not muggy and short winters with fairly stable temperatures, due in part to the mitigating effect of the Ligurian Sea. The Appennine mountains shelter it from northern winds; on the other hand, its exposure to winds from the south allows you to experience spectacular sea storms when the libeccio or scirocco are blowing. All year round, the climate of the Cinque Terre is an enviable one!
