November brings notable fluctuations in temperature and weather patterns on the Via Francigena. The northern regions, like Lausanne, often start the month with chilly mornings around 1–5°C, occasionally warming to highs of 15°C, while precipitation varies from light rain to occasional heavy showers. Moving towards central and southern Italy, temperatures become milder, ranging from 5°C to 16°C. Despite intermittent sunny spells, rainfall remains a frequent companion, with mid to heavy showers punctuating dryer periods. The journey through contrasting landscapes, from crisp Alpine environments to the relatively temperate Italian plains, showcases November's dynamic weather characteristics.
As you leave Lausanne, November presents a mix of partly cloudy days with intermittent sunshine and recurring moderate rainfall. Daytime temperatures can rise to 15°C, contributing to a brisk yet invigorating start. Moving past Vevey and Aigle, expect similar conditions with patchy rain giving way to brief sunny intervals, maintaining temperatures from 1°C to 16°C. Departing from Saint-Maurice towards Martigny, clouds dominate the skyline, occasionally dropping moderate snow mixed with rain on colder days, especially as temperatures dip below zero at night.
Crossing into the Alps, from Bourg-Saint-Pierre to Col du Grand-Saint-Bernard, the cold intensifies, with lows possibly plummeting to -25°C. While sunny breaks do offer respite, this high-altitude stretch witnesses significant snowfall with prevalent freezing rain episodes.
Transitioning through Étroubles to Ivrea, November reveals milder conditions, though rain showers are frequent. Temperatures commonly settle between 4°C to 15°C as you journey through towns like Pont-Saint-Martin and Viverone, where overcast skies often hint at impending rain.
Moving south through towns such as Santhià and Piacenza, the route experiences an alternation of cloudy days and occasional sunny spells. While temperatures remain relatively stable around 10°C to 15°C, showers persist, particularly in areas close to Pavia and Fidenza.
Around the picturesque Tuscan hills of Altopascio to San Gimignano, November provides warmer temperatures ranging from 6°C to 15°C, albeit with frequent rain showers. However, the sun does shine occasionally, enhancing the scenic beauty of this region.
Nearing Bolsena and Viterbo, you encounter sunny stretches interspersed with bouts of moderate rain, a typical characteristic of the tail end of autumn. Temperatures here swing between 7°C and 14°C, and as you approach Rome, the aura transitions to a milder climate with the city occasionally drenched by heavy showers.
