Rome in February

Carnival season, with dates that move each year with Easter. Children in costume gather in the piazzas. It is one of the quieter times of the year, so flights and rooms are relatively cheap. On sunny days it can be warm enough at midday to take your coat off.

Highs of 13°C and lows of 4°C. Even at midday it stayed cool enough to want a jacket. 9 rain days in a typical February: noticeable, but most days stayed dry. A visitor in 2023 met 3 rain days; one in 2014 met 15. The average of 9 hid that gap.

4 nights a month dropped below freezing on average. Gloves earned their place for early starts. Not every year was typical: 2024 ran 2.9°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 16.3°C. The lowest night on record was −12.3°C in 2018.
