What is the weather like in Rome, Florence, Venice in December.?

Question

I plan to visit these three places around mid december.

What would the weather be like during this time for these places?

Does it rain a lot? And does it make it difficult for sight seeing?

Answer 1

In winter, northern Italy is prone to frost and fog, whilst the south, although warmer, tends to be wetter. Average daytime maximum temperatures range from 7 °C (45 °F) at Venice in December to 13 °C (56 °F) in Naples and Rome. Average number of wet days ranges from about 25 in parts of the north to 18 near the coast. About 3-4 hours of sunshine are expected each day.

Answer 2

Hi! I'm italian and I live in Tuscany (near Rome and Florence). You can visit Italy whenever you want: the weather is never too cold here!

Answer 3

go on line and ask a travail agency or phone one

Answer 4

The weather in Rome is likely to be warmer than where you live, but of course, there are no guarantees. Check weather averages here >  www.weatherbase.com

Answer 5

It will possibly be cold, rainy or foggy. You can encounter snow at higher altitudes. Venice's flood season is October to February but you can still get around on the raised walkways they provide. All of the museums and attractions remain open but beware this is a predominantly Roman Catholic country and many things will be closed on public religious holidays.

Buona fortuna

Answer 6

It depends on where you are from. I am from a warm climate, so to me, those places were quite cold.

Italians are hilarious-- they hate cold. You will see them dressed in many layers (e.g. Shirt, sweater, jacket, and vest). So I always follow suit.

Rain is usually a given, but the Italians are always shocked when it rains. You might even be privy to rare snow in Rome.

Thankfully, the weather never effects Italy's charm. Christmas decorations will be up, and people will be shopping in all the hot spots in droves. You will have a wonderful time sightseeing, I'm 100% positive.

Answer 7

Cold and rainy (Cold is a relative term) 40 degrees+ F. You might not be able to go on a gondola ride in Venice, but you can still go sightseeing.

Italian tends to celebrate more holidays than we do during Xmas, so many places may be closed, but your visit is still worthwhile.
