Italy Climate
Italy has a largely temperate climate with regional variations.
In summer the Northen parts of Italy are warm with occasional
rainfall, the central region is somewhat stifled by humidity and
the south scorches under the dry heat. In winter, conditions in
Milan, Turin, and Venice are dominated by cold, damp and fog.
In Tusany's winter temperatures approach freezing, while tem-
peratures in the south of the country are more favorable aver-
aging 50-60F (10-20C). Most people visit Italy between Junes
and August; however the best time to visit is in Spring ( April-
May) and Autumn (September- October) when the weather is
good and the tourists are few. The sea is warm enough for s-
wimming between June and September. Most Italians take th-
eir vacation in August and many shops and restaurants are cl-
osed during this period. The ski season runs between Decem-
ber and April, and the best time to walk in the Alps is between
June and September.
