Flights from Singapore (SIN) to Palermo (PMO)

When to visit

The best time to visit Palermo would be late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) due to the favourable temperature in those months, and fewer crowds than July and August. In spring, temperatures range from 16°C in the night to 26°C during the day, making it a great time to visit the city. July, Palermo becomes warmer making it a good time to go swimming and the beach resorts get busy. The Scirocco winds do bring winds and some rainfall. Temperatures average 30°C in summer. Autumn, is when the vineyards begin to harvest and the best time to go wine tasting. September sees reduced temperatures that range from 27°C in the day to 12°C in the night.
