Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia and its largest city. Below see the historic temperature and precipitation charts for Cagliari, Italy.
As you can see from the historic temperature charts, Cagliari has pleasant high temperatures pretty much all year around, although July and August can get quite warm. The precipitation chart shows the typical Mediterranean climate, with little rain in the summer and a winter rainy season.
Cagliari, having both an airport and a ferry port, makes it an ideal starting point for visiting Sardinia.
Calgiari hosts a major museum of the archaeological finds from the island. The indiginous culture that built the unique nuraghi that dot the island make for a very interesting study in isolated cultures and the material artifacts they've produced.
The Fish Market in Cagliari is one of my favorite sites to visit, and possibly the single best reason to rent an apartment for seafood lovers. It rivals many municipal aquariums in the variety of things you'll see that are fresh out of the Mediterranean.
You can see a concert in Cagliari's second century Roman amphitheater during the summer tourist season.
In May, don't miss the Sagra di Sant'Efisio, in which a statue of Sant'Efisio is carried to Pula followed by Sardinians in traditional costume and decorated ox carts.
