italy from May 13-28 VS Early June
Hi!!
Last time I visited Italy in May(13-28) there was a day of rain in FL, one in Rome but rest of the days were actually warm and evenings were not too cold.
How is Italy in early june -first two weeks? My folks are going this May and I don't wnat them to get stuck in rain as they are in Fl and Rome and Venice for just 2 days at a time - Plus spanish steps looked alive with flowers, in May there were no flowers - I saw this pic on a website and then again that might have been taken in July/August!
anyway does it get super hot June 1st/2nd week - my dad can't stand the heat and my mom can't stand the cold! And I just want them to LOVE italy like I did.

Don't want to hit you with too much cynicism and sarcasm, but what I love about Italy (make that the top 100 reasons I love Italy) have essentially nothing to do with weather.
And surely you know that weather forecasting is not precise enough to say that one 2-week segment versus another is going to have such'n'such characteristics!
Anyway, I don't understand the beginning of this paragraph...
<<How is Italy in early june -first two weeks? My folks are going this May>>
That sure sounds like the decision os already made!
The biggest problem of all may not be the weather, but rather...
<<they are in Fl and Rome and Venice for just 2 days at a time>>
Who put them on this sprint? Is their whole trip to Italy just six days?
I understand your concerns, but I don't understand what kind of answer is going to get you over them.
Best wishes,
Rex

May is better than June - slightly cooler weather and fewer tourists. But I agree with others 2 days each in Florence, Rome and Venice with travel time from one to the other and they won't really remember much about anything including the weather!

Let me clarify - 3 in Rome, 3 in Fl, 2 in Venice, 1 in Milan, and then off to Switzerland for 5 days. Yeah more days in Italy would have been awesome indeed but they couldn't accomodate that right now on this trip.
