What is the weather like in Rome? What to wear? How to stop worrying? We plan your perfect vacation in the Eternal City
If you don’t watch TV, do not read the news, and are not inclined to worry, stop reading paragraphs 1 and 3 and save your time. Instead, better read other entertaining articles about Rome.
Reasons Not to Worry
- Rome always has good weather, compared to most other cities. Statistically, there are more than 270 sunny days per year!
To know the exact weather forecast, I advise you to install Roma Meteo App in App Store for iPhone or in Google Play for Android.
- From November to March, when there is a higher possibility of rain in Rome, there are fewer tourists, which means you will feel more comfortable. The heat in July-August can reach up to 40 degrees, but during these months, we walk at dawn from 5 to 11 am, then we sleep at home and go to the night promenade at the Tiber from 9 pm.
- It is impossible to predict the weather for more than 6 hours with a probability of more than 50%, which means that any forecast is fortune-telling even for a day. More than once, I was convinced that “according to the forecast, it will be raining” was an excellent sunny day.
- Worrying about the weather is a sign of weakness. All “weather” is only in your head. I always think about the temperature from the positive side – if it is forecasted to rain, there will be sun, rainbow, and beautiful reflections in puddles.
- From May to October, there comes a period when in Rome, for months, there may not be a single drop of rainfall.
- Rome is just 30 kilometers from the sea, so the weather often changes here. There are no more than 5 days per year when the rain pours without interruption for the whole day. Usually, “in Rome, it rains” means rain for 10-15 minutes, but several times a day. You can always go to one of the thousands of magnificent churches or the nearest bar for a coffee if it is raining.
- Snow? The last time when I saw snow in Rome was in February 2018. Next time it will be snowing in the Eternal City in 10 or even 20 years.

As you can see, even during wintertime, weather temperature rarely exceeds 0 degrees celsius. Sometimes winter is more comfortable to stay in Rome than summer, primarily if you are not used to the heat. Summer months are scorching during the daytime. If you plan to visit Rome in summer, I recommend booking our sightseeing tour at sunrise without crowds of tourists and heat.
It is worth mentioning that April, May, and September are the best months to choose for your Roman holiday since all days on average are sunny; there is no heat; Rome celebrates its birthday in April so that you can participate in events and, of course, you can go to one of the beaches nearby Rome to enjoy the sun and relax.
July is the hottest month in Rome with an average temperature of 78°F (26°C). And the coldest is January at 46°F (8°C) with the most daily sunshine hours at 11 in July. The wettest month is December with an average of 96mm of rain

In Rome, the weather is enviable constancy – a great occasion to go to the sea! Who said that the sea is only to swim in it and cuddle on the beach in search of an attractive tan. We are now sunbathing in tanning salons, and swimming in the pools is easier and more convenient. And at sea, you can simply enjoy its infinity, recharge with its strength and enjoy its fresh gifts. Happy day at sea in February 🙂
