In the south, the Mediterranean climate prevails, which is characterized by hot and dry summers.

The warmest months in Italy are July and August, when the temperature reaches 40 degrees.

When to fly to Italy
The best time to visit the main Italian cities is spring: from mid-April to the end of May the temperatures are pleasant, the days are quite long, the sun often shines and nature blooms, although it can sometimes rain.
Another good period is the first half of September. From mid-September to mid-October, the temperatures are pleasantly warm, but it can rain, especially in the north and in the middle of the country. November is usually the rainy season in Italy, although the sun in the south still shines quite often. In the spring, from March to mid-April, the weather can be sunny and mild, but also cold and wet: it is a rather unstable period.
Summer, from June to August, is often sunny, but can be very hot, especially in July and August. However, visitors flock to places like Rome and Florence even during this period. In any case, it is better to avoid this period if you do not like heat.

In February and the first half of March there is almost still enough snow for a ski holiday and the days are longer than in December.
July and August are the best months for a beach holiday in northern and central Italy and also September in the south. The weather in June is often nice and the days are the longest of the year.
