Summer months, particularly July and August, see higher temperatures — normally around 81°F, but often reaching over 88°F at the peak of the day. At this time, visitor numbers are at their peak. It’s worth noting that many Italians take the entire month of August off to avoid the humidity, with many businesses shutting down during this time. However, the cities are much quieter as a result, so you can still explore if you can stand the heat.
