The climate of Venice (Italy)
Venice is a city located in the north eastern part of Italy and is a
Unesco world heritage site. This isn’t surprising since Venice has a
beautiful historic center which consists of a large number of small
islands. Transportation in Venice is all done by water. The Canal
Grande is the main thoroughfare. Everyone here moves from A to B by
boat. A part of its inhabitants lives in Venice or on the mainland
(Mestre). The city has many historical sites such as the Rialto
Bridge, Doge’s Palace and Piazzo San Marco. More than other cities
Venice suffers from global warming. Because of its low situation in a
lagoon the city suffers from rising water. Nowadays Venice floods 4
times per year. Expectations are that Venice will be flooded for 250
days per year at the end of this century. Venice has a Mediterranean
climate with pleasantly warm summers with temperatures of 27 degrees
Celsius. The ever blowing mild sea breeze is pleasant too. Winters are
mild, because of its situation in the lagoon; subzero temperatures 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:
