The live forecast above shows the current conditions in Venice, with temperatures in degrees Celsius. For a reliable outlook, you can check the 10-day forecast or the 14-day and 30-day trends if you are planning further ahead.
What is Venice’s climate like throughout the year?
Venice has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa) with warm summers, cool winters, and significant rainfall spread across the year. The Adriatic Sea moderates temperatures, meaning extremes are rare. The weather in Venice by month varies considerably, so it helps to know what to expect each season.
What are the best months to visit Venice?
The best months for pleasant weather and manageable crowds are April, May, September and October. Spring and early autumn offer mild temperatures (15–25°C), lower humidity, and fewer tourists than the peak summer months. If you want to avoid rain, your best bet is July and August, though these are hot and crowded. For a quieter trip, consider Venice in February during Carnevale or Venice in November when prices drop but rain is more likely.
What should you pack for Venice?
Packing depends on the season. In summer (June–August), lightweight clothes, sunscreen, and a hat are essential; evenings can be cooler near the water. Spring and autumn (Venice weather March through Venice in October) require layers, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable walking shoes. Winter (December–February) needs a warm coat, scarf, gloves, and sturdy shoes – Venice weather December often brings fog and chilly winds. An umbrella is useful year-round.
