CLIMATE: The city of Florence has a temperate Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and cold and wet winters. The climate of the city is influenced by its location in a valley at the foot of the Apennines to the north and surrounded by the hills of Chianti to the south.
Summers are very hot with average maximum temperatures over 30°C and absolute maximum sometimes approaching 40°C. July and August are the hottest months, unsuitable because of hot weather to visit the city, this is also due to poor ventilation caused by the sheltered position of the city.
