Weather in Florence

Average temperatures throughout the year and tips on the best times to visit

Weather in Florence and Tuscany is generally pretty mild but Florence’s location in a valley makes temperatures vary from other areas in Tuscany.

The warmest months are generally July and August, while June and September are both nice with warm weather without it being too hot. Keep in mind that in August many Italians escape the heat of the city – outside of the historical center, a large number of businesses including shops and restaurants close down for at least two weeks if not the entire month.

The coolest months are December and January, with January being a bit cooler.

November is the month with the most precipitation on average but October, December, March and April also generally have a good amount of rain.
