Planning a Trip to Florence? Here's the Weather
See what weather to expect in Florence, Italy and plan your trip with confidence. Monthly averages from real historical weather data.
Florence sits in a river basin, and that geography shapes everything: heat pools in July when highs reach 32°C, and rain funnels in during the cooler months, with November averaging 140mm of precipitation. The city rewards visitors who time it right — the piazzas, open-air markets, and garden terraces that define Florentine life are far more enjoyable when temperatures are comfortable rather than punishing.
