Venice Weather Forecast

Studying the Venice weather forecast is good preparation for your trip to Venice, Italy. "The City of Water" is in the north of Italy, bordered on the northeast by the Adriatic Sea.

Venice has 118 small islands between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice has a warm, humid temperate climate with hot summers and no dry season.

Below is the weather forecast for the next two days. 

Because the city is floating on a web of canals, it is subject to high humidity throughout the year. In combination with the summer heat, this can lead to uncomfortable conditions. Despite this, July and August are the peak tourist crowds. So, book a hotel in advance if you brave the heat, humidity, and groups of tourists!

July is the hottest month in Venice, with an average (day + night) temperature of 23°C (74°F). But the temperature you feel can be much warmer. For example, you can calculate + 5°C due to the humidity, sunshine reflecting the water, and stones. 

  • The coldest month is January, with an average of 3°C (37°F).
  • The month of July has the most daily sunshine hours.
  • The wettest months are June and November, with an average of 90mm rain.

Summer in Venice starts in June, with temperature peaks in July and August. The temperature rises between 30°C (86°F) and 40°C (104°F).

Luckily, the summer also has rain for refreshments, but this happens occasionally. Unfortunately, the high temperatures and humidity mean that there are frequent thunderstorms.

A thunderstorm can disrupt your travel plans, but it gives a romantic picture with the drops of rain pattering on the canal.

July is the sunniest month of the year, with nine hours of sun per day. However, the best month to swim in the sea is in August. The average sea temperature is 26°C (79°F). You can swim on the long stretched beach of the island ‘Lido’ (15 minutes by vaporetto boat).

Winter and Venice Weather Forecast

Light rain showers that last for hours are typical for winter in Venice, Italy. The coldest month is January, with an average temperature of 6°C (42°F) during the day and an average of 1°C (33°F) at night. The months of February and December are just a bit warmer.

The Adriatic winds are bitterly cold as they blow over the city's waters. Come and prepare with gloves, scarves and a warm jacket if you visit Venice in the winter. There are also bright, sunny days in the winter, perfect for sightseeing.

Autumn and spring Weather in Venice Italy

In these two seasons, the weather changes often. Closer to the summer, it is pleasant with warm days and cool nights. May has an average temperature of 21°C (70°F) during the day and an average temperature of 12°C (54°F) at night.

The best time to visit Venice Italy during your holiday

The best time to visit the city is in April till June or September and October. During these periods, the peak of the tourist season is avoided. You also have fewer problems with humidity and winter conditions.

The busiest tourist season starts on June 4. Venice will be less crowded after September 13. And did you know the hottest day of the year in Venice is, on average, July 29? 

It's weird, but climate specialists will calculate this kind of thing. And I think it is good. Be aware that the cold season lasts from November 22 till March 5. And again, the coldest day of the year is January 9. 

The earliest sunrise is at 5:21 on June 12, and the latest sunset is at 21:04 on June 29. The latest sunrise is at 7:51 on January 2, and the earliest sunset is at 16:27 on December 10.
