Reggio Emilia

Winter, from December to February, is cold, humid and dull. Temperatures can remain around 0 °C (32 °F) even during the day, especially in December and January, and the sky remains overcast for many days.
Fog, which in the past was fairly frequent, has become rarer in recent decades, to the point that now, it only occurs in periods when the Atlantic high pressure system dominates.
Snow in Reggio Emilia falls falls more or less in the same quantity as in the cities of the Via Emilia from Parma to Bologna, more than in the lower plains and less than in the Apennines. On average, 30 cm (12 in) of snow fall per year. Snow depth reached 70 cm (27.5 in) in January 1985 and 60 cm (23.5 in) in February 2012.
During cold spells, which are becoming rarer due to global warming, the temperature can drop to -10 °C (14 °F) or below. In January 1985 it dropped to -20 °C (-4 °F).

Summer, from June to August, is hot and muggy, and generally sunny.
The air feels hotter because of humidity and poor ventilation, conditions typical of the Po Valley.
During heat waves, which are becoming more frequent, the temperature can reach 38/39 °C (100/102 °F) or above. In July 1983 it reached 40 °C (104 °F).
Sometimes, there may be some rainy days even in summer, or thunderstorms may break out in the afternoon or in the evening.

Best Time


The best times to visit Reggio Emilia are spring and early summer, particularly from mid-April to mid-June. September is also a good month. However, some rainy days must be taken into account in both periods.
Summer can be very hot, although it can give some acceptable days, especially in June. You have to take into account, in summer and sometimes in May, some afternoon or evening thunderstorms.
