Experience the Changing Seasons at Lake Garda

Lake Garda, situated in Northern Italy, sees a wide range of weather patterns throughout the year thanks to its sub-Mediterranean climate near the foothills of the Alps. Our weather category takes you through Lake Garda's seasons so you know what to expect for your trip, whether you're looking for sunny skies or snowy slopes.

Spring welcomes warmer days with averages in the mid-60s Fahrenheit, as well as increased rainfall especially in April and May. The summer days can get quite hot, often reaching into the 80s or 90s, making it perfect for beating the heat at the lakeside. Expect afternoon thunderstorms too. Once September hits, temperatures cool down considerably but there is still ample sunshine mixed with autumn leaves and grapes being harvested for wine season.

By late fall you'll need more layers with November highs in the 50s. Then winter can get quite cold with January averages around freezing, so if you're here for skiing the mountain peaks should have sufficient coverage. The weather brings quiet yet atmospheric days where the lake takes on a whole new mood. Check back each season to learn why the changing scenery makes Lake Garda an enticing destination all year long.
