Bologna Weather and Historic Climate
Bologna is located in the heart of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, and is considered the culinary capital of Italy.
Bologna's historic center has many miles of protected arcades, so visiting during wet weather isn't as much of a problem as you might think it would be.
Due to its location in the Po Valley, the area is subject to steamy heat and occasional thunderstorms in the summer. Bologna is best avoided in July and August. Spring and fall are subject to heavy rains at times. The weather is fairly unpredictable and chilly November through February, but there can be periods of brilliant sun, too.
