=== Climate === The climate of Ancona is [[humid subtropical]] (Cfa in the [[Köppen climate classification]]) and the city lies on the border between mediterranean and more continental regions. Precipitations are regular throughout the year. Winters are cool (January mean temp. {{convert|5|°C|0|disp=or|abbr=on}}), with frequent rain and fog. Temperatures can reach {{convert|-10|°C|0|abbr=on}} or even lower values outside the city centre during the most intense cold waves. Snow is not unusual with air masses coming from Northern Europe or from the Balkans and Russia,{{citation needed|date=September 2024}} and can be heavy at times (also due to the "[[Lake-effect snow|Adriatic Sea effect]]"), especially in the hills surrounding the city centre. Summers are usually warm and humid (July mean temp. {{convert|22.5|C|F|1|disp=or|abbr=on}}). Highs sometimes can reach values around {{convert|35|and|40|C|F}}, especially if the wind is blowing from the south or from the west ([[föhn wind|föhn effect]] off the [[Apennine Mountains]]). Thunderstorms are quite common, particularly in August and September, and can be intense with occasional flash floods, damaging winds and even large hail. Spring and autumn are both seasons with changeable weather, but generally mild. Extremes in temperature have been {{convert|-15.4|C|1}} (in 1967) and {{convert|40.8|C|1}} (in 1968) / {{convert|40.5|C|1}} (in 1983). {{Weather box|width=auto |metric first=y |single line=y |collapsed = Y |location = Ancona (1991–2020) |Jan high C = 10.1 |Feb high C = 11.5 |Mar high C = 15.0 |Apr high C = 18.5 |May high C = 23.0 |Jun high C = 27.3 |Jul high C = 29.6 |Aug high C = 29.6 |Sep high C = 25.4 |Oct high C = 20.7 |Nov high C = 15.5 |Dec high C = 11.2 | year high C = |Jan mean C = 7.3 |Feb mean C = 8.2 |Mar mean C = 11.3 |Apr mean C = 14.6 |May mean C = 19.0 |Jun mean C = 23.1 |Jul mean C = 25.6 |Aug mean C = 25.7 |Sep mean C = 21.5 |Oct mean C = 17.4 |Nov mean C = 12.6 |Dec mean C = 8.4 | year mean C = |Jan low C = 4.4 |Feb low C = 4.9 |Mar low C = 7.6 |Apr low C = 10.6 |May low C = 15.0 |Jun low C = 19.0 |Jul low C = 21.5 |Aug low C = 21.8 |Sep low C = 17.7 |Oct low C = 14.0 |Nov low C = 9.7 |Dec low C = 5.5 | year low C = |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 47.0 |Feb precipitation mm = 54.7 |Mar precipitation mm = 59.4 |Apr precipitation mm = 54.1 |May precipitation mm = 55.9 |Jun precipitation mm = 52.0 |Jul precipitation mm = 35.2 |Aug precipitation mm = 38.5 |Sep precipitation mm = 85.8 |Oct precipitation mm = 68.5 |Nov precipitation mm = 87.0 |Dec precipitation mm = 71.0 |year precipitation mm = |unit precipitation days = 1.0 mm | Jan precipitation days = 7.1 | Feb precipitation days = 6.8 | Mar precipitation days = 6.4 | Apr precipitation days = 6.8 | May precipitation days = 6.6 | Jun precipitation days = 5.0 | Jul precipitation days = 3.5 | Aug precipitation days = 3.8 | Sep precipitation days = 6.8 | Oct precipitation days = 7.6 | Nov precipitation days = 9.3 | Dec precipitation days = 8.4 | year precipitation days = |source 1 = Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale<ref name = ISPRA>{{cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230917192649/https://valori-climatici-normali.isprambiente.it/ | archive-date = 17 September 2023 | url = https://valori-climatici-normali.isprambiente.it/ | title = Valori climatici normali in Italia | publisher=Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale | access-date = 26 November 2024}}</ref> }}
