Are you considering a spring trip somewhere? Or maybe you want to go to Venice but you detest the crowds? Today, we’ll argue that spring may just be the best time for a trip to Venice for you. What weather can you expect?
Venice in March
March is not an exceptionally warm month in Venice. Temperatures range from 10°C to upwards of about 19°C – on average, you can expect 13°C. Nights are also very cold, at about 5°C. It’s a rather cool month, but this also means that tourists are much scarcer than in summer. You also have the Easter celebrations to look forward to by the end of the month.
There may be a bit of rain, though it’s the least rainy month of the three. Do pack some warm clothes with you.
Venice in April
Thankfully, the weather stabilises in April and temperatures go up a lot. You can expect an average of about 17°C, with the end of the month being a bit warmer. You may certainly encounter a few days above 20°C. Nights are still very chilly, though, at 8°C.
There’s sadly more rainfall in April. Whereas March had about 7 rainy days, April has 10 on average. Tourists are still relatively scarce, though they’re certainly starting to group up.
Venice in May
If you’re starved for some warmth after the cold winters and early springs, May in Venice is perfect. The average temperatures are already about 23°C, with common spikes above 25°C. Nights also get a lot better, at 14°C, so you can also go for a pleasant evening stroll to see all the beautiful lights around the city and its bridges. May is also, sadly, the month where the swarms are starting to peek through, so there’ll invariably be a lot more tourists than in March and the prices may jump a bit. One deterrent is that May is just as rainy as April is.
If you’d like to visit Venice in spring, do bring an umbrella with you. Do be aware that occasional floodings may occur in early spring, so be on the lookout for any such news. Still, spring is a great season for those who can’t stand the heat and hordes of tourists very well. With fewer tourists, prices are also a bit lower, so there’s that.
