What's the temperature like?

Question

Im going down to Italy in May, I was wondering how warm will it get? Is it really hot?

Answer 1

Would be warm, sure not hot. "Hot" apply more for July and August, especially in central.southern Italy.  

It also depends on where are you going: generally North is colder, South warmer, although during latest years there was less difference than in the past: just now, the average in Northern main cities is 12-14 C (53-57 F) while in South is 13-16 (57-60), and there even are some southern cities a little colder than some northern ones...

Answer 2

it depends on the region..Last year about 20 of may i was in Ravenna, it was hot like in july..Then after some days turned to cold..

Usually the weather is nice but sometimes in the north there is some rain..

Answer 3

Yeah, with the greenhouse effect it might even reach 100 already in May.
