How hot does it really get in Rome in the summer?

Question

I am going to Rome in late June and keep hearing about how hot it gets and how the heat is unbearable in the summer. But when I look up the general temp for June it says upper 70's - lower 80's, which I don't think is extremely hot (I'm from Florida). Is it the humidity?

Answer 7

I also went to rome in late june in '06. it got very hot, even if it wasnt too hot for you,seeing asyour from florida, you do a LOT of walking (we probably walked 10 miles a day or more) which makes you hotter, and its veryy crowded then :]

Answer 8

Summer in Rome is pretty bad.  Remember that, unlike what I assume Floreida is, there are not many air conditioned places.  And since Rome is a walking city you are out most of the day in the heat.

But June is not bad, it starts getting bad in July and August is the worst.  However, the first time I came to Rome I came in August and it was ok.  Though they are saying that this summer will be the worst in history.  Of it gets hot, just make sure to not go out during the hot afternoon (1-3) and do as Italians do and take a siesta :)

But as I sit here now in Rome, it is chilly and was raining all afternoon... and its beautiful... have a great trip!

Answer 9

going to rome in 4 days time will let you know

Answer 10

Rome in the summer is similar to Atlanta

Answer 11

In June it's not that bad. I gets to about 41 degrees celcius but unlike here there is no humidity so it isn't that bad. Depending on where you go there may not be air conditioning though. But it's all worth it cause everythings so beautiful!
