    Climate

    If you are planning a trip to Italy, it is important to know the climate during different

    seasons, and throughout the different areas. Italys climate changes with the seasons,much like the rest of the world. During the winter months, many people choose to visit

    the Alps for skiing and winter activities. Milan, Turin, and Venice are also regions thatbear the brunt of the winter cold. Temperatures in the south ofItaly are normally

    more mild with averages of 50 to 60 degrees from December thru April.

    The western region ofItaly, where youll find the Tyrrhenian Sea, has mild seasons.

    Temperatures in the summertime normally stay within the 79 to 87 degree average.Winters are also milder than the northern region, and average lows in the winter are

    between 40 to 42 degrees.

    The beautiful southern or Mediterranean Region ofItaly has wider rainfall totals in thewinter months, and dry summer conditions. This is where youll find the sirocco, which

    is an African wind that is very hot, and blows over the Mediterranean Region

    throughout the summer months.If you are planning a visit to Italy, you should simply determine the season in whichyou will be arriving, and the region that you will be visiting. Choose your travel clothing

    accordingly. Just a check of the local temperatures and planning to accommodate anyharsh or wet weather may be all that you need for the Italy vacation of your dreams.
