Climate in Ancient Pompeii
Before
Before the eruption, Pompeii had a very hot sub-tropical climate. The closest sea to Pompeii is the Mediterranean sea. Pompeii relied on the Mediterranean sea for food, transportation and also trade. Since the weather is extremely hot, ocean water evaporates to create rain. Rain is very common in Pompeii and the entire west coast of Italy receives more rain than anywhere else in Italy.
Now
Pompeii still keeps it's Mediterranean climate and it's cold winter but unfortunately due to climate change, pompeii has gotten warmer than usual.
