You never know what the weather will be like, but here are some averages:

I’m not sure about weather impacting the ferry schedules; I would guess that it doesn’t unless it’s a really bad storm, but you can try to contact the hotel where you’ll be staying to see if they have information about that.

Hi!
I’m going to be in Bellagio the 2nd to 3rd week of May. I’ve read there can be torrential down pours in May. Is this true? If so, does this slow or stop the ferries?

I’m touring Rome with my high school choir from 30th april to 4th may. I’m from Sri lanka where the temperature is always something around 25°C to 29°C. This is my first tour away from Sri lanka so I need help to figure out what sort of clothes I should pack.
Thanks!

May 1 is a big holiday in Italy, so you may find that traveling by train on that specific day will be difficult. Traveling in general on that day could be challenging, too, as the roads are likely to be more busy with Italians on the roads. If you can change the dates of your stay so that you’re not trying to move from place to place on May 1, you’re less apt to run into issues. If you can’t change your dates, then be sure to book your train tickets and reservations as soon as you can to make sure you get a seat.

I’m planning on going to Cinque Terre 29 April – 1 May 2011. So the last day will be on Labor Day. Will that be a problem (especially for trains)?

Thanks.

As it happens, sister site WhyGo Amsterdam has an excellent Schiphol layover guide.

We are visiting Italy, landing in Amsterdam first. We will be there for 2 and 1/2 hrs. Is there anything there to see or do while waiting for our flight to Milan?

Hi, Claire:

You can consult the Italy weather page for more information about the weather throughout the year:
http://www.italylogue.com/weather/

But your best bet is to check what the weather is actually like the week or so before you leave on your trip – just check weather reports for the cities you’ll be visiting, so you know how to pack & what to expect.

Ciao,
Jessica

I am a college student who will be touring Italy with my choir in late May. Last time I was in Italy was two years ago in the middle of the summer and the temperature and humidity were alot like home (northern Alabama). Can I count on the temperatures for May being similar to my home climate?
