Italy Travel Weather - When to Go to Italy
Italy has a diverse climate. Most of Italy is surrounded by water of different temperatures, and the Apennines form the spine, and all of this ends up creating a variety of microclimates.
Mediterranean low pressure areas start in the Gulf of Genoa and spread across Italy, bringing rain and thunderstorms inland. Summer thunderstorms in Tuscany can be quite spectacular, especially in August when the sign of them signals a break in the hot and humid weather.
High seasons for the traveler in Italy are the Christmas season, February school break (for ski resorts) Easter and the whole month of August. August 15th is ferragosto, when practically everything is closed.
