Rome in July

The driest month of the year. It is hot and dry, and many people avoid going out at midday. There is little shade at the ruins, so take a hat and water and move early or in the evening.

Days averaged 31°C and nights 20°C. Midday was for air conditioning, a cold drink or a long lunch out of the sun. Nights were about 12°C cooler than the afternoons. Out of 31 days, an average of 2 saw rain. In 2007, July had no rain day at all; in 2011 it had 6.

Long days, up to 15.2 hours of light, left room for a late stroll after dinner. Highs topped 30°C on 22 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense. Not every year was typical: 2024 ran 2.6°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 34.0°C.
