08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
June brings real heat by mid-month, with afternoons around 30 °C and the first days above 30 °C, and the Republic Day parade on 2 June along Via dei Fori Imperiali with a flypast over the Colosseum. Saints Peter and Paul on 29 June is a city holiday with fireworks over Castel Sant'Angelo. Outdoor opera starts at the Baths of Caracalla, and the Lungo il Tevere bars and stalls open along the river for the summer.
Start sightseeing early and keep afternoons for churches and museums; the Vatican Museums are air-conditioned, the Forum is not. Rain falls on about five days, usually as thunderstorms. Hotel prices are at summer levels. Daylight runs past half past eight in the evening. The Estate Romana programme of open-air concerts and cinema begins and runs to September. For the heat at its fullest and the city at its most crowded, see July.
