Hi everyone. It's an absolutely heavenly day in Ischia today. Having crossed by ferry from Naples this morning it was such a nice feeling to see the Green Island (l'Isola Verde as it's sometimes known as) in all its glory and with the warm sun beating down. This really is when Ischia comes into its own and when the weather is like it is today there's no better place in the world. Right now at 3:45pm it's 22° Celsius (72° Fahrenheit), there's the tiniest cool breeze but above all there's uninterrupted sunshine. Looking ahead to tomorrow we should see a repeat of today's conditions but there may be a change towards the weekend with some showers forecast along with a slight drop in temperatures. The outlook changes day to day so we'll see how that develops anyway. A domani. Ciao :-)
Afternoon folks. The new week has got off to a cloudy start but that's not to say it's such a bad day. There's no threat of rain and it's nice and warm, just a touch under what it was yesterday. Right now at 12:30pm it's 22° Celsius (72° Fahrenheit) and as I look out on to the horizon I can see very little (due to the aforementioned clouds) apart from the part of the sea that's closest to the beach which is nice and calm. The sun should start to poke its head out later on to be followed by two very sunny days tomorrow and Wednesday. Today's photo comes from a lovely little corner of the island, Cartaromana Bay. There are some nice restaurants over there which enjoy magnificent views of Castello Aragonese and can be accessed by water taxi from La Mandra Beach. A domani. Ciao :-)
Buona sera everyone. It's early evening in Ischia at the end of what's been a beautiful day. Right from the morning until later afternoon there was unclouded sunshine with temperatures in the mid-twenties meaning islanders and visitors alike flocking to the local beaches. Towards the end of the afternoon things did cloud over a touch and cool down with the temperature right now at 6:45pm 22° Celsius (72° Fahrenheit). The rest of this evening will stay pleasant while tomorrow is expected to bring some thicker cloud cover but similar temperatures to today. The rest of next week should stay mostly sunny although again there may be a few clouds around towards the end of it. Today's photo of Ischia Porto was taken at sea this afternoon. Back with more tomorrow. Ciao :-)
Afternoon folks. It's another superlative-busting day in Ischia but out of the many possible one-word-descriptions I'll go with scintillating. This really is such a nice time of the year with everything starting to come to life and this gorgeous spell of unseasonably warm temperatures. Right now at 6pm it's 22° Celsius (72° Fahrenheit) with sunshine pouring into the room from every unshaded crack. Having done a full whizz around the island today it's strange to see various hotels & restaurants slowly creaking back into life after their winter hibernation but this all very much adds to the charm. Tomorrow looks like it'll be warmer still and there's a great week to follow as well. Today's photo comes from the bay of Sant'Angelo and I'll be back tomorrow. Ciao :
Buona sera everyone. Wow what a scorcher it is today! There's really not a cloud to be seen and the whole island is starting to explode with colour as the spring flowers bloom. Little flashes of purple and bright red bougainvillea on one side offset against bright yellow roses and lemon trees bristling with ripe fruit on the other. You could argue that today is the real start of the summer season with Poseidon Thermal Gardens opening their doors for the first time and they've chosen a great day to do so. Right now at 5pm it's 22° Celsius (72° Fahrenheit) with a nice gentle breeze and we're in for a really pleasant evening as well. Things are shaping up nicely for the weekend and by Tuesday we should see a big jump in temperatures, as high as 27°C (81°F)! Back tomorrow. Ciao :-)
Afternoon folks. It's a glorious afternoon in Ischia after a morning that was a bit slow to get going. We're still in that phase where a few businesses including hotels, restaurants and thermal parks are not quite open yet but that being the case it seems like the current fashion fad is to hold a paint brush in ones hand. Nearly every place you pass has some kind of maintenance going on in time for the summer season which in essence is just a couple of days away now. Right now at 4pm we have sunny conditions with a bit of a breeze but all fairly calm out at sea and a current temperature of 20° Celsius (68° Fahrenheit). Tomorrow should be similar but as we get into Saturday and Sunday we're expecting to see the mercury hit the mid-twenties. Back with another update tomorrow. Ciao :-)
Buona sera everyone. Things are getting progressively busier in Ischia with every passing day with the main summer season just a smidgen away now. The first sign of that is Poseidon Thermal Gardens opening in just a couple of days and that'll be followed by the other thermal parks and gardens in the days that follow. Having said all that, it's not feeling particularly summery today. In fact it's been quite odd in terms of the weather seeming as if at any moment the heavens are about to unload but as I type still not a drop has fallen. This is most inconvenient on a personal note as I need to know whether to water the garden, decisions decisions eh! Well right now at 5:30pm it's 18°Celsius (64° Fahrenheit) with tomorrow expected to be slightly nicer. So until then, Ciao :-)
Hi everyone. It's another delicious day in Ischia today. Surveying the scene right now I can hear the gentle sound of birdsong, gaze upon the sea as it's dazzled by the sun and breathe in the beautiful spring air. What more could you ask for? Right now at 5pm it's 20° Celsius (68° Fahrenheit) and we're in for a lovely evening too. Looking into the crystal ball for tomorrow there's a suggestion of some cloud moving in as well as some wind. Those clouds may stay around until Friday before clearing in time for the weekend. By Sunday and Monday next week we should see a bit of a bump in temperatures, even as high as the mid twenties. For today's photo I've chosen a shot of Sant'Angelo, the pretty fishing village which is a must-see if you're coming to Ischia soon. Back tomorrow. Ciao :-)
Afternoon everyone. Another gorgeous day in Ischia. Riding around the island this morning I was quite surprised to see how busy it was which makes me think quite a few visitors must have arrived over the weekend. Well timed to all those that have because we're set fair for a really nice spell now. Right now at 4:30pm it's 20° Celsius (68° Fahrenheit), the sun is shining and the sea is glistening. Looking ahead to tomorrow, expect more of the same and a similar temperature. One of the best things about this time of year is seeing the spring flowers coming out and one of the most notable t the moment is the beautiful purple "glicine" (Wisteria) which gives off the most wonderful scent, similar to Jasmine. I'll be back with another update tomorrow. Ciao :-)
Evening folks. We've seen a big change in the weather again today, this time in a positive sense. The strong winds from yesterday gradually died away and the heavy cloud hung around until mid-morning before moving on or vaporizing away (whatever it is that clouds do) to leave a beautiful sunny day. It's still really sunny right now at 6:30pm with a temperature of 18° Celsius (64° Fahrenheit). In Forio on the western coast it's that time of the day where the sun is right in your face before a spectacular sunset. In the distance I can hear some church bells ringing out and the noise of that is harmoniously mixed in with the sound of the waves which are still quite strong today. Today's photo was taken just an hour ago in Lacco Ameno and I'll be back with more again tomorrow. Ciao :-)
