Climate & Weather in Milan (2026)

May–June and September are ideal for nomads: mild 19–26°C (66–79°F), longer daylight, manageable humidity.
July–August brings intense heat (29–37°C (84–99°F)/84–99°F), high humidity, and a semideserted city as locals leave for vacation.
November is the wettest month; October and November combined form peak rainfall season. Bring rain gear.
Winter is cold and gray (December–February): 3–6°C (37–43°F) daytime, frequent overcast skies, rare but possible snow. Humidity stays high.
Snow is a rarity—don't expect white Christmas. When it falls, it's usually light and melts quickly within the city proper.
Fog was historically heavy (Milan airport was Europe's foggiest in the 1980s) but is now uncommon due to urban heat island effect.
Spring (March–May) transitions from mild to warm with increasing thunderstorms, especially by May.
