How cold will it be in Italy near the end of December?

Question

Im going to Rome, Tuscanny, and Venice in mid December. I dont want to overpack however I keep getting mixed answers on how cold it will be, anyone have any insight?

Answer 1

Not cold as somebody who visited Italy some years ago may think; this December, like last year's, it's warmer. I live in the North and today, half December, a long-sleeves shirt was enough, no need for a coat or even a jacket, just after 12 pm.

Compared to few years ago, North is warmer and South a little colder, although still warmer than the North, and more rainy.

And it seems Northeast, were Venice is located, is more rainy then Northwest.

Answer 2

Usually it is always fairly cold in the north Italy in the winter time, but in the south it can be mild or cold..... just pack atleast one warm jacket, scarf and gloves.....or you can just buy them in Italy if needed........ weather can be unpredictable..... :) have a great time!!!

Answer 3

Pack for cold weather.  Snow is not unusual.

Answer 4

In Rome and Tuscany it will be warmer than Venice, but expect low temperatures and snow.

Answer 5

In the north part it is cold, I go also to Milan, and i know it will be humidity so much...

In the centre it is better, and the best weather is in the south.I remember last year, in Naples, it was like summer...

But be careful in Venice, there is acqua alta, means the water comes up so be prepared for the wet weather..In Aosta,also Bolzano it is cold..Toscana better, but on the mountains it is cold...

Concerning Rome...You ll not feel any cold being in the most wonderful city of the world
