Summer is usually more stable, although the northern regions often have thunderstorms in the afternoon/night hours and grey and rainy days. So, while south of Florence, the summer is typically dry and sunny, it tends to be more humid and cloudy in the north. Spring and autumn weather can be very changeable, with bright and warm weeks (sometimes with summer-like temperatures) suddenly broken off by cold spells or followed by rainy and cloudy weeks. July is the hottest month in which temperature soars up to 30 C, and January is the coldest month in which temperature falls below the freezing point
Most tourists prefer to visit Italy between April to July, while some of them also spend the holiday season in August, but mainstream tourism starts on the mild season's brink. So, for tourists, late September and mid-October is the best time to make best of their leisure time. Lightweight clothes are worn during the summer while in winter you can wear warm clothes with medium-weight wear.
