The weather in Corsica is pleasant almost all year round. However, summer is the best time to travel.

From May to September temperatures reach highs of 30°C, while in winter the average temperature is around 12°C.

Apart from that, the island has hundreds of sunny days throughout the year, so it could be a good holiday destination even in winter.
