Corsica weather overview

Corsica, which lies off France's Mediterranean coast, is a hot and sunny island in the summer and a lovely retreat in the winter when conditions are mild at lower levels.

July and August are the driest months in Corsica's lowland areas, and from May until September you can bask in an average of 10 hours sunshine a day.

What to pack for Corsica weather

Pack light clothing, good sunglasses and beachwear; add warmer clothes and rainwear if planning a visit to the mountains.
