Venice has a temperate climate. The warm wind and the high humidity rate are making the summer sultry and the winters are damp and cold. But the Venice winter with a crystal clear sky is very beautiful…. And quieter, in terms of tourism... !

The weather in Venice varies and is very unpredictable. The climate, however, has Mediterranean influences. Temperatures in winter rarely go below 0°c (32° f), thanks to the calm sea breeze. The temperatures In summer can run up to approximately 35°c (95° f).

Venice is located in northeastern Italy. The climate is not milder than on the other side of Italy which is connected to the Mediterranean sea. Because Venice is situated in a lagoon the humidity can be very high.

The months of July and August are hot in the daytime and sultry in the evening. In the autumn, the fog brings a nostalgic atmosphere. Throughout the whole year there is a chance it will rain, but November is the wettest month.

Venice is drowning

The climate in Venice also has another well-known phenomenon. This is the "acqua alta" and can best be described as a flood or a sudden tide. When this happens there will be a sound of a siren in advance.

But… don’t be scared….. Some plazas will flood. The people of Venice will put ramps on the streets so tourist can continue exploring the city. Boots are really necessary during this “acqua alta”… Well,,,, It can be a kind of romance to carry your loved one,, so she will not get wet feet.
