How warm is it in Genoa during August?
August is typically the hottest month in Genoa. The temperature hits about 29℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 17℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Genoa during August?
On average, there will be 4 rainy days during the month, amounting to 67.2mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. Due to the high temperature and humidity, you might expect lots of thunderstorms, however they're actually fairly infrequent at this time of year. On average, August will see just 2 days that produce a storm.
Is it windy in Genoa during August?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in August. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
How warm is the sea in Genoa during August?
The water around Genoa reaches a very pleasant 26℃ during August. This is very warm, and will feel bath-like. People who normally feel the cold will find this temperature perfectly acceptable. The hot air temperature and relatively high humidity will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.
