21 days of weather...rain and shine
Packing (almost) all depends on the anticipated weather. To try and figure out what the weather might be like in 6 countries over a month, I scoured scrapbooks, travel forums, the internet, and almanacs...ok, maybe not any almanacs but it might not have been a bad idea. I won't bore you with the day-by-day details of our weather, instead, I'll summarize by country below. It's also important to know that we hit both a cold streak and a warm streak on our trip.
Netherlands: highs between 50-55, light rain and lots of wind
Germany: highs between 60-65, light rain and no wind
Austria: highs between 50-52, light rain, fog, and overcast, no wind
Italy: Venice (highs 70-77, no rain or wind); Florence (highs 74-75, no rain or wind); Rome (high 77, no rain or wind); Cinque Terre (high 75, no rain or wind)
Switzerland: highs between 73-77, no rain or wind
France: highs between 84-91, no rain or wind
