Italy in June: Travel Tips, Weather, and More

Weather

It’s no coincidence that folks flock to Italy in June. It’s officially summer, and while the sun is indeed out, it’s not as oppressively hot as it can be in August. For example, if you arrive in Rome you can expect an average temperature of 73°F/23°C. For more regional averages, expect it to hover between 55-80°F/13-27°C in the north, 60-80°F/16-27°C in central Italy, and 70-85°F/21-30°C in the south. But even though these temperatures may seem perfect, you’ll want to pack the lightest layers possible, as Italy is not immune to heat waves during June.  

Crowds & Costs

There’s no getting around it: June falls in the peak summer season  That means prices for flights and hotels will be higher than at any other time of the year (often 100% higher than in the low season). Therefore it’s wise to book everything as far in advance as possible, including tickets for attractions and sights within the country.

If you’re planning on visiting the Colosseum, in Rome, one expert tip to finding shorter lines is to purchase tickets in advance from the official website. If you’re already in the country, then you should head to the entrance of Palatine Hill and purchase a combination ticket. The lines are shorter at this window and the ticket includes admission to Palatine Hill and its museum, the Colosseum, and the Roman Forum. You can also skip the line entirely by signing up for a guided tour or audio tour.  

Where to Go

If the goal is to beat the summer crowds, then consider forgoing popular Tuscany for its less-visited (but just as gorgeous) next-door neighbor, Umbria. There are beautiful medieval towns dotting its rolling green hills, such as well-known Assisi and Perugia, as well as smaller Spello, Spoleto, and Orvieto. The best part is that if you visit Umbria during June you’ll pay lower prices for villas and hotels than you would in neighboring Tuscany.

If you plan on being in Italy at the end of the month, try to be in Rome. That’s because every year on June 29th the city celebrates the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, the two patron saints of Italy’s capital. In the morning, the Pope holds a special mass in St. Peter’s Square (tickets required), but there are processions throughout the city. There are also, of course, major festivities at the basilicas of St. Peter and St. Paul. Plus there’s also an impressive firework show that begins at 9:30 pm at the Pincio Terrace overlooking Piazza del Popolo.

This feast is only a holiday in Rome, so you don’t have to worry about the merrymaking affecting traffic or transport in other cities and towns. That said, if you do plan to travel around the country, opt to do so by train, as other forms of public transport are often unreliable. If you’re only going to be in Rome, you don’t need much time—you can see the major sites and enjoy the festivities in anywhere between three and seven days.

Get Started

What to Do

A popular outing in Umbria would be to visit the region’s beautiful churches, such as the Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi and the Duomo di Orvieto. If you’re an art fan head to Perugia and the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria, which features an impressive collection of Renaissance and medieval art. And Umbria isn’t known as Italy’s “green heart” for nothing. While here you should partake of the region’s famous foraged truffles and sample its highly quaffable wines like the Trebbianos and Sangioveses. For wine tastings, head to the Pomario winery in Perugia or the or Lungarotti, in Torgiano.

If you do decide to cross over into Tuscany, and you’re there at the end of the month, you can catch the celebrations of the summer solstice on or around June 21st. This operates somewhat in Tandem with the Feast of St. John, on June 24th. There are incredible fireworks displays in Florence during this period, and the best vantage point to witness it is from the Santa Trinita Bridge looking out to the Piazzale Michelangelo.

Events in June

Republic Day. This national holiday falls on June 2nd and celebrates the day in 1946 when the nation voted to switch from a monarchy to a republic. Many businesses are closed, and there are celebrations, parades, and fireworks throughout the country, particularly in Rome. 

Feast of St. John. Every June 24th there are religious festivities in Turin, Florence, and Genoa to celebrate John the Baptist. In Florence, there’s a parade in the historic center of the city followed by fireworks over the Arno River in the evening.  

Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul. This holiday celebrating Rome’s two patron saints falls on June 29th, and of course, the big celebration occurs in Italy’s capital city. 

Summer Solstice. This typically takes place around June 21st, although exact dates change yearly. There are celebrations throughout the country, with some of the grandest in Florence.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The chance that a given day will be muggy in Rome is very rapidly increasing during June, rising from 5% to 29% over the course of the month.

For reference, on August 10, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 51% of the time, while on December 2, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

This report illustrates the typical weather in Rome, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Rome.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Rome according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

The estimated value at Rome is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Rome and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

  • Rome Urbe Airport (LIRU, 64%, 4 mi, north, -118 ft elevation change)
  • Roma Ciampino Airport (LIRA, 24%, 8 mi, southeast, 256 ft elevation change)
  • Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (LIRF, 11%, 15 mi, southwest, -157 ft elevation change)

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.

We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

Monthly weather in Italy

Italy occupies a vast area – more than 300 thousand km². Thanks to its long territory, it is located in three climatic zones at once: temperate, subtropical and Mediterranean. The country is washed by several seas: the Ionian (south), Adriatic (east), Ligurian and Tyrrhenian (west), which are part of the Mediterranean Sea. Italy covers the Apennine Peninsula, the southern Alps, the Padan Plain and the islands, the largest of which are Sardinia and Sicily.

January

The coldest month of winter is characterized by a small number of travelers, low prices for tours and a variety of menus in restaurants. While the northern regions are covered with snow, in the south of the country there is fog and prolonged rains. Mountains protect the north of Italy from gusts of cold winds. The temperature can fluctuate from +4°C during the day to -2°C at night. In Rome during the day from +10°С to +12°С, at night about +4°С. Precipitation falls literally every other day. In the south, the average daily temperature is about +13°C.
The water temperature along the coast is kept within +11°С. Cold winds blow from the sea. In January, it is better to relax in ski resorts.

February

February is a cold month with a lot of precipitation in the form of snow or rain, depending on the region of the country. The temperature in Rome during the day averages +13°C, and drops to +4°C at night. In the north of the country, it is around +7°C during the day, and 0°C at night. Palermo pleases with a short period of sunny days with an average daily temperature of +13°C.
The water in the sea is still cold – about +10°С. The best place to relax in February is the ski resorts of Italy.

March

March in Italy is the most capricious month of the year. The weather is famous for its unpredictability: a sunny day can suddenly give way to an overcast sky with rain clouds. During the day, Rome warms up to + 16 ° C, and at night the temperature in the capital drops to + 6 ° C. Precipitation falls almost every other day. In the north of the country, the thermometer shows +12°С during the day and +3°С at night. In the south, the average temperature is +14°C. Swimming in the sea is still not allowed by the water temperature – about +12°C.

April

April pleases with warm and stable weather. The closer to the south, the higher the thermometer. In the north of the country, temperatures can range from +14°C to +16°C during the day and drop to +5°C at night. In Rome, it is +17°C during the day, around +8°C at night. There are almost no rainy days.
Sunbathers appear on the beaches, but the bathing water is still cold – about +14°C.

July

July in Italy is hot and sunny. In Rome, around + 31 ° C during the day, + 19 ° C at night. The national average in the daytime is around +29°C. Sometimes the air masses of the Sahara reach the coast of Italy and provoke a jump in indicators up to + 35 ° С. Humidity in July is high – 75%. The water off the coast is so comfortable for swimming that it resembles “fresh milk”.

August

In August, in some places the thermometer rises to +37°C. In all regions of the country, approximately the same average indicators can be traced. In the north in the daytime up to +30°С and +21°С at night, in the south – up to +33°С and +25°С respectively.
The sea in the hottest month of the year gets very hot – up to +26°С…+29°С.

September

The holiday season continues in September. Thanks to the decline in the heat, you can freely go sightseeing. The temperature in the southern part of the country is still summer and fluctuates from +25°C to +29°C during the day, dropping to +20°C at night. Water also remains warm – up to + 27 ° С.

The water in the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Seas becomes cool by the end of the month, cooling down to +24°C.

October

Mid-autumn is accompanied by chilly nights, heavy rainfall and temperature drop throughout the country. This month, it is better to give preference to sightseeing, shopping and museum walks, protecting yourself from bad weather with a raincoat or umbrella. The weather in October in the territories of Italy is not the same. In the northern regions, autumn comes earlier. Daily temperatures range from +12.5°C in the north to +23°C in the south.
Sicily still receives tourists, delighting with sunny days and a water temperature of +23°C.

November

There are more and more cloudy days in November. The sun appears only in the south of the country, where you can walk along the narrow streets without the risk of getting caught in the pouring rain. The last warm days are best enjoyed in Sicily and the southern islands, but here, too, one should not forget the umbrella. In the northern regions, the temperature during the day drops to + 9 ° С … + 12 ° С, and at night there may be slight frosts. It is slightly warmer in the center of the country: during the day from +15°С to +17°С, at night – up to +8°С. In the south of the country the weather is the warmest.
