What is the weather like in Italy and France?
Expect much the same variable weather as the North Eastern U.S. and Canada in the shoulder seasons of April, early May, late September and October. June (when it is warm, but not too hot) and September (when temperatures are dropping and it is dry) are wonderful months for cycling. July and August can be very hot. GreatCycling can also provide you with detailed weather conditions and temperatures for all its Italian and French biking destinations.
