Florence Travel Forum

Hi to everyone in the Florence forum,

We will be visiting Florence next week, and I wondered what the temperature is like in the evning, in order to know what clothes to pack.

If it is anything like here in the UK, even if it has been a sunny day, the evening's from about 8pm onwards usually become very cool and it is necessary to wear a jacket.

Is this the case in Florence?

Thanks

Katie

In my experience, temperatures in Italy (and elsewhere) do not drop as quickly when the sun goes down as they do in the UK.

A light jacket/whatever is always a good idea, but I suspect you won't find it necessary.

Check the weather forecast for Florence here:

I would take one in case, I can remember wearing a jacket on an overcast day in Florence in June, let alone at night.

This week has not been overly warm here in Italy and the temperatures still drop quite a lot at night as the environment does not heat up so much during the day. So a jacket or a light sweater might be a very good idea.

Just returned from Florence and it was unusually HOT. I live in Florida so I am very used to being in hot weather, but was very unpleasantly surprised to find such heat in Florence. It cooled down at night only because the sun goes down, but neither my wife nor I felt need for a sweater nor jacket; and she is always cold even in Florida. "No Jacket Required"

Hi, the temperature here in Florence changes very easily, one day you could have 30 degrees at 10 pm and the day after 15 degrees!! Even if I assume it will be warmer than Uk anyway, bringing a light jacket will be a good idea anyway...you never know!
