The climate of Rome (Italy)
Rome is the capital of Italy and was the capital of the former Roman Empire. The mini-state of Vatican City is located within Rome. Vatican City is the seat of the Catholic Church. Rome has too many monuments and historic sites to mention. Because of its important role in the Roman Empire, Christianity and the Renaissance Rome has many historical sites. If you want to see all of them you need a lot of time. Almost on every corner and square you can admire historical buildings. Among the most famous are: Saint Peter’s Basilica with the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, Trevi fountain, the castle of Angels and the Spanish steps. Renting a car in Rome gives you complete freedom in transportation. It allows you to explore attractions anywhere in and around Rome without the difficulties of public transport.
The best time to visit Rome is during spring or fall. During the summer it may be too hot and smoggy which may cause inconvenience, especially for those with respiratory problems. Because of the Mediterranean climate the weather is pleasant enough during spring and fall for a city trip. Really cold temperatures during winter are uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
