the weather in Rome, Italy, in the autumn. "My heart remembers Fountains where children played Gardens where dreams were made - Autumn in Rome". (From 'Autumn in Rome' : Sammy Cahn / Alessandro Cicognini / Paul Weston). Rome's climate changes with the seasons in Italy. Here you'll find all you need to know about the climate in Rome, Italy, in the Fall and suggestions for things to do in Rome.
When is Autumn (Fall)? : Leaves begin to drop in around mid to late September, and Romans look on autumn as being from then until early to mid November. Temperature in Autumn : Rome's average climate in autumn is very like what British people would consider a good summer : skies are usually blue, and more often than not it's warm and sunny. Expect temperatures in October to be a maximum of a pleasant 23°C (73°F) and drop to 6°C (23°F) at night. In November temperatures will fall fairly dramatically, as winter in Rome sets in. What about rain? By late October expect there to be rain fairly frequently. The rainiest months in Rome are November and December. So what's good about Rome's climate in Autumn?
The chaos of summer's tourist rush is over, the city quietens down, Romans are winding down for the winter - and the quality of light is often stunningly beautiful. A wonderful season for lovers and photographers alike! And what's not good? Rather like Rome in Spring, Rome's climate in the autumn can be unpredictable - warm and sunny one day and grey and drizzly the next. Be prepared for both. Nights are now much more chilly, so it's not often possible to enjoy evening meals sitting outside.

The trees are changing colour, the air is much fresher than Rome in summer and the sky, more often than not, is blue. Try going there on a Sunday morning when Italian families gather to play with their children, walk in the leaves, and have coffee at the park's cafe. If you like antiques, the Via dei Coronari in the historic centre is the venue for a fantastic antique fair which takes place every weekend in October. The atmosphere here is wonderful; shops stay open until late and there is a whole variety of things to buy. Even if you don't want to buy anything, go here to browse and soak up the atmosphere. And try eating hot roasted chestnuts from a paper cone : there is always a street seller at the top of the Via del Corso near the Spanish Steps. Delicious!
