Is Rome hotter than Milan?

In Milan in the north you can expect six hours of daily sunshine and temperatures of 16?C. In Rome and further south, you should find seven hours of sun and 20?C. Early April can feel very chilly, but late April can get quite warm.



Yes, Rome is generally hotter and sunnier than Milan due to its more southerly Mediterranean location. In the summer months (June to August), Rome's average daily highs hover around 30°C to 32°C (86°F–90°F), and it frequently experiences heatwaves where temperatures exceed 35°C. Milan, located in the northern Po Valley, has a more "continental" climate; while its summer highs are similar (28°C–30°C), it is notorious for extreme humidity, which can make the "perceived" temperature feel just as oppressive as Rome. However, Rome's winters are much milder, with average highs of 13°C (55°F) compared to Milan's chilly, foggy 6°C (43°F). Rome also benefits from the ponente—a sea breeze that can cool the city in the evenings—whereas Milan's air can become stagnant and heavy. If you are a fan of traditional sunshine and heat, Rome is the definitive choice, whereas Milan offers a more varied four-season experience with cooler springs and autumns.
