Lake Garda

What's the weather like in Lake Garda in May?

Lake Garda is in northern Italy between Milan and Verona, meaning it has Mediterranean weather. Temperatures are rising in May, and you'll get plenty of sun if you're going at this time, although May is one of the area’s wettest months. You'll find it warmer here compared to other parts of northern Italy though, because of the nearby mountains that help keep the lake waters warm. From around midnight to mid-morning, winds blow in from the north while from around midday to sunset, they arrive from the south. This will help to keep you cool and comfortable as well as making Lake Garda great for water sports.
