The city, lying at the foot of the Appennine chain, is barely affected by the mild influence of the sea although it is not far away (less than 100 kilometers).
The four seasons in Florence are very well distinct with extremes of temperature in summer and winterand heavy rainfall in spring and autumn.
In the summer the temperature during the day, aggravated by the humidity which is felt even at night, can easily reach 36-37° C with occasional, but not exceptional peaks of 40°C and above, while in January and February it can often drop below 0°C.
In the winter you need therefore heavy coats and warm clothing.
In spring and fall you must be equipped with a raincoat and umbrella.
