Italy in March

[Guest]

Does anybody know how cold it would be in Italy late March?

Traveled in Italy the first two weeks of March this past year. The temperatures were colder than the 30 year average and were in the 30 F and 40 F range most of the time. I believe you can check historic records of temperatures in any of the cities you will be visiting but remember this will only be a guide. The 30's and 40's we had should have been 50's. We had a couple of 40 degree days with rain in Rome. It did not stop us from walking the streets and enjoying the city.

I went to Rome, Florence, and Venice last March. Venice was the coldest - jacket and gloves needed, especially at night (probably down to 40). . Rome and Florence I just wore a light jacket and jeans. I did have a small umbrella just in case but didnt' need it. When we were in Rome St. Peter's Square at noon it was sunny and warm enough for just a t-shirt while in the sun, but I'm glad I had my light jacket. I was never really really cold on the trip and I live in Miami. I found the spring temps to be refreshing.

PS. No one wore shorts - too cold.
