Cascia Weather: Forecast and Climate
Cascia weather depends heavily on altitude. The main town is at 653 m in the upper Valnerina, in the mountainous southeastern corner of Umbria, in the province of Perugia. The municipal territory, however, ranges from 525 up to 1,878 m. In winter Cascia is among the coldest towns in the region: during a cold spell the Umbria Civil Protection Observatory measured -14.3 °C there, the lowest minimum among Umbrian towns on that occasion. Snow can fall heavily even in town. Spring and autumn usually offer the most balanced weather for visiting the town of Saint Rita.
Today in Cascia: cloudy, high 17 °C and low 12 °C, wind up to 16 km/h.

Cascia Weather: Forecast for the Coming Days
The forecast for the coming days applies to the center of Cascia, at 653 m. Many hamlets of the municipality are higher: Maltignano is at 714 m, Fogliano at 827 m, Ocosce at 911 m, San Giorgio at 915 m and Civita at 1,171 m. In winter, anyone heading there should bear in mind that conditions up there can be very different from those in the main town. During the snowfall of January 2023, as much as a meter of snow fell in the highest hamlets of the municipality.
Cascia is about 21 km from Norcia, on the road to Rieti. If the trip continues toward the high plain, it is worth also checking the Castelluccio di Norcia weather page. The general picture of the area is on the Sibillini Mountains Weather page.
Cascia Weather: The Climate Month by Month
Cascia falls in Italian climate zone E, with 2,452 heating degree days. January is the coldest month, with average lows close to zero, and February stays at similar values. From March temperatures rise gradually: in May average lows are around 8 °C. August is the warmest month of the year.
For a visit, spring and autumn are generally the most balanced seasons: fewer people, clear light and an Apennine landscape seen at its best. In autumn the colors of the woods are joined by truffle season. Summer brings mountain temperatures, suited to being outdoors. Winter is cold and snowy, but the town is quiet and uncrowded.
Cascia Weather: Snow and Conditions
In Cascia snow reaches the town and can bring daily life to a stop. On January 23, 2023 Cascia, Norcia, Preci and the other villages of the Valnerina woke up under about 40 cm of snow. The municipality closed the schools because of difficult roads, and they stayed closed the following day as well. In another snowfall, which began on the evening of December 3, more snow fell in Cascia than in Norcia and the municipality sent out vehicles to clear the main roads.
Frost can also be intense. On other winter mornings the thermometer in Cascia has dropped well below zero.
Before setting off in winter, it is worth checking forecasts and road conditions and traveling with a car equipped for snow and ice, especially when heading to a hamlet at altitude.
