Vallebona weather: 10-day forecast and climate

Weather forecast for Vallebona

Climate in Vallebona month by month

Vallebona is a valley village, a few kilometres from Bordighera and at 149 metres above sea level. There are no official averages for the village: the table starts from those of the Imperia station and subtracts about 1 °C for altitude, so it is an estimate, and there is no sea column. Winter is mild, summer is hot but evenings are more pleasant than on the coast. If you are interested in the weather at the seaside, see the weather in Bordighera.

Monthly averages for Imperia (air temperatures 1991–2020). Source: climieviaggi.it. For Vallebona, at about 149 m above sea level, the temperatures are an estimate: they are the Imperia figures, on the coast about 30 km away, with 0.6 °C less for every 100 m of altitude; the rainy days are those of Imperia. Treat them as a guide: in the valleys nights are usually cooler and the gap between day and night wider.

Weather, old town and walks

The centre of Vallebona is explored on foot, among alleys, squares and steps: in the rain the steps get slippery, so wear shoes with a good sole. The Christmas bonfire, the fogü, is lit in the square on 24 December and stays alight until Epiphany: it is an outdoor event, so dress warmly. For the trails, from the two easy loops to the Monte Nero trek, choose a dry day and wait for the ground to dry after rain; the official tracks are in our guide to the walks around Vallebona.

In Liguria the alert for rain and thunderstorms is issued by ARPAL, with three levels: yellow, orange and red. Check it on the official Allerta Liguria site before setting out.

When to go to Vallebona

Spring and autumn are the best months for walking. Winter has the mimosa in bloom, from December to April, and the Christmas bonfire. In spring, after the bitter orange blossom harvest, the “Verità, bugie e fior d’arancio” festival takes place; the village does not publish the month. In summer there are the feasts of Saints Peter and Paul (29 June) and San Lorenzo (10 August), and in the village the decorated Apes stay on display all year. For the dates of individual events ask the tourist office. The village describes the climate as mild and suggests mountain biking, road cycling, trail running and trekking all year round.
