What's the weather like in Florence, Tuscany , Italy
Florence, the historic capital of Italy's Tuscany region, is best known for being the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Today the city is a hugely popular holiday destination for culture vultures who want to explore the museums and art galleries, foodies who want to indulge in the local cuisine and wine, and sun-worshippers who want to bask in the Italian sunshine.
The city is located in the north of Italy and enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with dry hot summers and cold wet winters. Whilst the centre of the city is largely urban and full of historical buildings and cobbled streets, the area surrounding the city (within a 40km radius) is mostly croplands and forests.
Thanks to its location both within Europe and Italy Florence experiences four distinct seasons: summer (June to August), autumn (September to November), winter (December to February) and spring (March to May).
July and August are the hottest months of the year and are very popular times to go. If you don't want to get stuck with sky-high flight and accommodation prices, a good compromise is to visit in June or September, when prices will be much cheaper than the peak summer months, but the weather will be very similar.

This hailstorm brought with it torrential rainfall and hailstones which, although they weren't large and only fell for a total of ten minutes, appeared in such a huge quantity that they coated the roads like snow. During the storm, trees were uprooted and fell into the streets, resulting in power cuts, road blocks and temporary school closures.
