Rome weather in late May (Italy, climate, take, first time)

[leegary1982]

Hi all. I will be traveling to Rome from May 21-26 and am wondering what the weather will be like. Has anyone ever been to Roma during late May? I saw on weather.com that they are forecasting rain nearly every day for 10 days. The first week of May. Isn't that kind of odd for there? They are a Mediterranean climate. I read May is not a wet month. Hopefully the weather will be pleasant and dry for sightseeing.

So you read one place it's gonna be wet and another place that it shouldn't be wet.

I think you can confidently expect that it might be wet.

I would take a raincoat. And not an Italian one. You want one for wet weather, not one to look good in.

The first few days look very pleasant.

I've been in Rome in May twice - first time the weather was fine and warm. Second time it was warm enough, but with sporadic rain (not enough to get in the way of sightseeing - but enough to allow for a coffee or wine stop)!
