Wheather in the Chianti hills
 

Hi again. What can we expect for Temps. in the Chianti region in mid Sept. Is there a lot of rain? Does it cool off at night. Would we need a sweater? Thanks. <BR>Neil

Neil, <BR>I also will be in Chianti in Sept. Although I haven't been there before it is my understanding that it should be just about perfect. Perhaps a sweater in the evenings, but I have not heard of much rain that time of year. <BR>

Tuscany in Sep average is hi of 81 low <BR>of 58 with 3.1 inches of rain for the <BR>month. It was warmer than that in Sep <BR>of 1997 my last trip to Tuscany. <BR>I always take a rain coat.

We were in Tuscany the second week of september last year for a week. It rained once, but otherwise was very warm. I guess it was unseasonably hot last year. About 85 degrees F in the day. It cooled off a little at night, but not much. I had a jacket but never wore it. You probably should take a light sweater, just in case, but I'm betting you won't actually need it.

The rains usually don't get started until sometime in October, although there can be couple showers. I would take a cotton cardigan or blazer for nighttime just in case. Would bring a small umbrella but wouldn't bother with a raincoat.
