One of the most unusual cities in the world - Naples - surprises with its geographical location. It’s no joke - to settle in the shadow of an active volcano! True, thanks in large part to this volcano, the climate in Naples is much milder than in some other regions of Italy, the soil is more fertile, and tourists are more and more. And yet, having arrived in this city, it is worth paying attention not only to the thermometer column, but also to Vesuvius: did not a suspicious smoke appear over its crater?
In general, the climate in Naples is much milder than in Rome, the winters are shorter and there are more sunny days. If the main purpose of the vacation is not the beach, then you can plan a trip to Naples any month of the year. In the off season will come even much cheaper.

Naples Weather January
January in Naples, like throughout Italy, is a low season. But the reason here is not in rainy weather (up to 5 rainy days per month), and not in air temperature, which is just quite acceptable for the southern winter (not lower than 10 ° C).
