[quote=Anonymous]Never understand why people go to Greece or Italy in July or August. The Italians and Greeks go to the beaches or the mountains in those months for a good reason.

My last trip to Italy was two years ago and went to Naples and then down to Sicily. Middle two weeks of June. Weather was perfect if on the warmer side, the sea was wonderful for swimming, but we were lucky according to the locals as in Sicily it is normally already heating up. And a week after we got back I checked the Sicilian weather forecast and the temp had gone up 15 degrees to 100+.

I did once go to Rome in the first week of July many years ago and it was so hot and humid that men were walking around with their shirts off and pouring water over themselves. We were in our 20s and it was still fun but I would never do it now.

A coworker commented the other day that her kid's school is planning a trip to Rome in August 2026 and I pulled her aside and said WTF. Don't do it. But not sure if she got the message. And so every year many people go to Italy in July and August and suffer the consequences![/quote]
