On the Via Romea Germanica from Padua to Rome, conditions shift from misty lowlands through showery Apennine ridges to warmer central valleys. Windows with milder temperatures and longer daylight generally fall in late March to mid May and late August to early October; April and September often align closely with this pattern. Expect changeable weather along the way: cooler, wetter spells in the north and at elevation, and brighter, warmer stretches approaching Lazio, with heat on the plains and occasional lingering snow or ice on higher crossings early in the season.
