What is the rainiest month in Tuscany?

November is usually the wettest month of the year, temperatures has values of 10-12 C°. In winter (December, January and February) temperatures are obviously lower, on average, range from 2-12 C°. In January and early February the weather is usually cold with little rain.



In Tuscany, the rainiest month is typically November. According to historical climate data and current 2026 weather patterns, November sees the highest frequency of precipitation, with an average of 9 to 11 rainy days and the largest volume of rainfall (often exceeding 100mm in some areas). This is the "transition" month from the mild autumn to the cooler winter, characterized by more persistent, gray days. Conversely, October can also be quite wet, often featuring dramatic but shorter thunderstorms. If you are looking for the driest time to visit, July is the undisputed champion, typically seeing only 2 to 4 days of rain. For travelers, the high rainfall in November means that while the landscape remains lush and the crowds are significantly thinner, outdoor activities like vineyard tours or hiking in the Val d'Orcia require good rain gear and flexibility. However, this is also the "truffle and new olive oil" season, making it a favorite time for food enthusiasts who don't mind the mist and the moody, romantic atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside.
