A client of mine has asked me what the weather was like in Jan/Feb in
the Western Med. as he is thinking of bringing his family over for a
cruise;

Savona--Rome--Cairo--Limassol--Rhodes--Izmir--Athens--Olympia

I've surfed the web and sent him the average temps which has worried him
as he thought it would be warmer than that... He lives in Los Angeles.

He has written back asking what the highs tend to be and I've looked but
cannot find the information I'm looking for. Does anyone have a link to
a web site that will contain the highs for Jan/Feb in the West Med?

TIA

Gives 55F as the January average high for Rome and Athens, 65F for
Cairo. Bear in mind they're only averages, it could be warmer or cooler
(has been known to snow in Athens at least).

My sister has spent many years sailing around the Med, she said that the
western Med in the winter is notorious for storms and many times she had to
cancel sailing trips due to bad weather, and when the Mistral is blowing it
can get very cold as well.

Just keep your fingers crossed for fine weather but I would take the
woollies.

There seems to be some confusion about whether this thread relates to the
western Med or the eastern Med!

Apart from possibly Savona, the Mistral would not affect the weather at the
ports mentioned by the OP.

You're right! Those places are more central & eastern Med.

Still, it can get pretty stormy anywhere in the Med during the winter. I was
in Cyprus in May once and we had a big storm, the sea was mountainous and
many fishing boats were smashed on the beaches, also it was very cold - and
that was May!

You are quite right and it is all my fault... of course I should have
said Eastern Med not Western... what a plonker... as penance I shall not
drink alcohol tonight... you believe me?.. ;-)

Thanks all for your responses... my client seems to be quickly going off
the idea!
