Italy in March
 

Thanks to Fodor's search engine I can't find much on March in Italy. Anyone who has been there, what is the weather like for Venice, Rome and Tuscany?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I've been there in March. I think you can get just about anything. You should look at weatherbase.com or weather.com to get an idea.

When we were in Italy in March 03, Venice was brisk during the day and cold at night, Florence was a bit warmer, and in Rome we wore t-shirts.

Have a great trip!

We have been to Italy 5 times and always around mid-March to celebrate our anniversary. 50-60's Farhenheit generally. On the first trip we were cold in Florence one day and in Venice one day. So, we brought long underwear and have never needed it since. We have had 2 rainy days! Of course they were in Capri and Bellagio-drats! I was usually comfortable in cotton slacks, layer of turtle-neck and sweater. I took a capacious rain coat (with hood and liner) so I could keep my camera bag out of sight. DH did the same but had a coat with many pockets as he took carried tickets and small souvenirs. We have been from as north as Varenna and as south as Siracusa Sicily. Hope I'm not putting a hex on your trip!

For weather information, month by month in the locations you're asking about, see www.worldclimate.com or www.weatherbase.com

I think that the average number of days above (or below) such-and-such temperature) is a very useful indicator of the "usual".

My first trip to Europe was Milan, Florence, Venice, and Bellagio, and the weather was stunning every day - sunshine, 70s, not a cloud in the sky, with temps dropping at night to 50s.

However, my response is anecdotal at best, so checking the historical weather data is the best suggestion.

Have fun planning your trip!

Thanks for your kind and quick replies. I will check the weather sites you have provided me.
