Averages for Venice in July

July is the hottest month of the year in Venice and also the busiest for tourist season.

Venice is a famously expensive city and prices for accomodation and food are especially high at this time of year.

In July the average temperature reaches a high of a very nice 28°C (that's about 82°F), and only dips to 18°C (about 64°F) in the evenings.

Light clothing such as t-shirts, shorts and sandals would be fine for daytime wear.

However due to the high temperatures and long hours of sunshine you should take precautions to avoid sunburn or sunstroke.

Always wear sunscreen with a high SPF and seek shelter during the hottest parts of the day.

You can check the local weather report to find out when this will be.

The average sea temperature is 25°C (about 77°F) so you can head down to the beaches or up to Lake Garda and enjoy the water.

You can expect to experience rain on an average of 10 days in this month. The average monthly rain is around 63mm and there is 9 hours of average daily sunshine.

The third weekend in July is the Festa del Redentore (Feast of the Redeemer) and is celebrated with a regatta on the Grand Canal, complete with fireworks.

Theatre lovers will enjoy the Shakespeare Festival with many performances of the Bard's plays.

And culture vultures will enjoy the Opera Festival which begins this month, with a range of performances of theatre, poetry, dance and opera.
