Weather in Bologna in November

November in Bologna is cool outdoor weather: usable if you dress for it, not a beach brief.

In Italy, this is how Bologna actually wears November, not how a country centroid would. Compared with July and January, November sits in the middle of Bologna's year.

What to expect

Daytime

Cool days in Bologna: a jumper you can take off, a shell in the bag. Walking is fine. Lingering outside without a layer is optimism.

Mornings and evenings are colder than the postcard. Pack for both, especially if you leave the built-up centre.

Rain

November is the wet side of the year in Bologna, the wettest stretch on these averages. Days can be heavy. Plans that cannot survive rain are the wrong plans.

This is not a reason to skip Bologna if you like the place. It is a reason to pack for weather and to stop treating every grey hour as a failed holiday.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • Rain jacket

  • A layer for cooler evenings
