Spring and summer are great times to visit the city of Rome, as the weather is warm and generally quite sunny. In a good year the mild weather many continue right up to December, with only occasional cold winds, but in a bad year, heavy rain can start in October. July and August are usually very hot and temperatures tend to stay around 30°C for much of this time.
The heat can be uncomfortable when sightseeing during this time, with possible sunstroke being a serious threat, although as many of the locals head for the mountains or beaches, the Rome traffic becomes noticeably reduced and footpaths less busy.
The weather can prove unpredictable from November to February, when Rome is at its most quiet, although it is generally fairly mild, there can be heavy rain and occasional icy winds, so be sure to bring a warm overcoat, scarf and gloves. If you are planning to visit outdoor locations, water-resistant boots or shoes with a good grip are recommended as the pavements can get very wet after heavy rain, and an umbrella can be a useful item to carry.
