when does it warm up in italy?

[janek]

we'd like to go to italy in early 2009, i would like the weather to be t-shirt-suitable in the day, it doesn't matter what it does at night. we went at the end of september 2007 and the weather was perfect then, warm during the day, but you needed a coat if you ventured out at night. when will we find similar weather in the first half of the year?

Not until May to be safe. April is risky (except should be OK in Sicily or Puglia). June is already very hot.

thanks, i meant to say we are going to northern tuscany, so your news about april is a bit annoying... but good to know in advance.

I went to Florence, Pisa and Mugello 2 years ago mid june. Scotland was warmer and drier!

after Easter. We've had great weather from mid May in the Lakes
