Typical weather, averaged over 30 years (1995–2024), read 12 km north-east of Taormina.

Temperatures are adjusted against 66 weather stations: daytime highs read about 3.1°F cold in the source data and are raised to match, and both highs and lows are adjusted for the town's height (220 m) against the climate model's (109 m).Temperatures are adjusted against 66 weather stations: daytime highs read about 1.7°C cold in the source data and are raised to match, and both highs and lows are adjusted for the town's height (220 m) against the climate model's (109 m).
