Weather in Rome- this July?

Question

Does anyone know how hot it might get around mid July this year in Rome, Italy? i read some websites and they say the maximum is usually in the high 80s...but it was also stated that Italian weather predictions aren't very accurate..so anyone who has been to Rome during the summer PLEASE help me out! or if you happen to just 'know', i would like to hear your opinion, too! thank you so much! :D

Answer 1

Hot, very hot, and - most probably - dry.

The Romans are out of town, only turists ther.

Answer 2

Right now, the 5 day forecast calls for highs from 80°F to 82°F (per wunderground.com) so it doesn't seem inconceivable that upper 80°s F for July would be correct.
