WEATHER
Corsica has a Mediterranean climate - hot and dry in summer, mild and humid in winter - with a double influence of sea and mountains. While the heat can be strong in summer, temperatures are mild on the coast, and cooler in the mountains where thunderstorms can occur on the summits in summer. On the coast, you find extremely mild temperatures, a pronounced summer drought and moderate rainfall. All this changes quite quickly in the mountains with alpine influences, with greater temperature variations and abundant rainfall depending on the season. In the mountain areas - around Corte for example - the weather changes quickly. On the same day, and depending on the altitude, you can have beautiful sunshine and summer temperatures, but also snowstorms and freezing temperatures. Make sure to carry a minimum amount of stuff in your backpack to protect yourself from the cold or the sun!
- Spring : In the mountains, it is a festival of flower blossoming, aparadise for hikers and cyclists ! Mild and cool temperature in the evening on the coast.
- Summer : Corsica enjoys an exceptional climate, always rocked by a sea breeze, which allows you to take full advantage of the island's many assets.
- Autumn : one of the best periods with Spring, far from the crowds, with a mild climate and beautiful sunny days. The sea is still warm.
ELECTRICITY
France is on a 220 Volt system

MOBILE PHONE & INTERNET
Contact your operator before leaving and check if you will be able to use your mobile phone abroad.
A good option is to buy a “country Sim card” in a phone shop. It will cost you around 10€ / 15€ and will allow you to call local phone numbers with internet access
MONEY MATTERS & CLOSING HOURS
The currency is the €uro. Make sure to have some cash with you as there aren’t always ATM machines in small villages.
