To
talk of the 'weather in Tuscany' is to generalise somewhat. Tuscany
encompasses many diverse terrains and landscapes and the rules change
from one zone to the next. You can be sure that July and August
in Tuscany will be hot, sometimes stiflingly so, thanks to the humidity
levels that can make Florence and the major cities of Tuscany veritable
hothouses.
This
situation is supposed to break around the day of feragosto in the
middle of August, when the first rains are expected and with them
a beginning of a decrease in temperature. September can still be
very hot with October being a fine month to visit Tuscany - blue
skies without the packed cities and the intense heat. But, some
like it hot! November
sees night-time temperatures really begin to drop, with crisp Autumn
days to accompany the main olive harvest throughout Tuscany. Winter
in Tuscany can be cold and wet but spring always seems to come quickly.
March is azalea and camelia time, whilst April and May are sometimes
very wet months.
