Rome in August Around Ferragosto, 15 August, many Romans leave town and many neighbourhood restaurants and shops close. It is the hottest month, so spend the day inside churches and museums and go out after sunset.
August brought serious heat to Rome, 32°C on a typical afternoon and 20°C overnight. Early mornings were the best time to be outside. Nights ran about 12°C colder than the afternoons, so a layer earned its place in the bag. Rain was rare: 2 rain days on average. 6 of 20 years had a completely dry August, while 2006 reached 5 rain days.
23 days past 30°C made it a month for early starts and a long lunch indoors. Not every year was typical: 2024 ran 2.7°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 34.5°C.
