If you are lucky enough to be going on a Venice holiday, then it is a good idea to be aware of what temperature you are likely to experience and also what the general weather conditions are likely to be.

January and February
It used to be the case when the canals would freeze over but nowadays although this seems to be a thing of the past, the quantity of water and the freezing winds means that Venice feels cold and damper than the Italian mainland.
January : degrees centigrade maximum = 6 minimum = -1 monthly rainfall = 58mm
February : degrees centigrade maximum = 8 minimum = 1 monthly rainfall = 54mm

March and April
Spring in Venice can bring temperatures of around 20C. However, beware as these months can be rainy and the low-lying areas of the city can become flooded.
March : degrees centigrade maximum = 12 minimum = 4 monthly rainfall = 57mm
April : degrees centigrade maximum = 16 minimum = 8 monthly rainfall = 64mm

May and June
Temperatures during early summer can range from 15C – 20C and attracts been 8 – 9 hours of sunshine each day and can be the best time to visit Venice.
May : degrees centigrade maximum = 22 minimum = 12 monthly rainfall = 69mm
June : degrees centigrade maximum = 25 minimum = 16 monthly rainfall = 76mm
