Rome’s autumn shine: best-weather picks this week

Rome leads this week's best-weather roundup with warm, mostly dry days; Lisbon, Dubrovnik and Marrakech also offer excellent conditions (MET Norway).

Rome’s autumn shine: best-weather picks this week

Rome is the standout this week: expect comfortable city walking and extended outdoor meals under mostly clear skies with a daytime average of 23.1°C and 6/7 fine days, while total rainfall remains low at 3.8 mm. That combination — warm highs, mild nights and only a single likely dull day — makes long sightseeing circuits and relaxed terrace time easy to plan.

Sunny city options: Lisbon tops the list for uninterrupted good weather, with a daytime average of 23.4°C and 7/7 fine days and just 0.3 mm of rain, ideal for coastal walks and tram-friendly sight-seeing. Dubrovnik matches that streak of clear days — 7/7 fine days — with a cooler daytime average of 20.0°C and no rain forecast, which is perfect for walled-city walks and cliffside vistas without crowds pushed indoors by showers.

For warmer, drier escapes, Marrakech and Bali are different kinds of appeals. Marrakech brings hot daytime heat at 28°C with 6/7 fine days and 4 mm of rain, suitable for souk hopping early or late in the day. Bali, meanwhile, delivers tropical heat — a daytime average of 30.5°C and 7/7 fine days — with modest rainfall (2.5 mm) and very high UV levels, so plan sun protection if you head to beaches or open-air temples.

All figures come from MET Norway and should help you choose the right kind of trip this week — whether you want long city walks, coastal calm or tropical sun.
