Hi! I'm confused by all the different online forecasts for Rome this weekend. Looks like rain, but what about temperatures? Any reliable predictions please? L
I see what you mean ;-)
Well, weather.com says rain on Saturday (16C to 8C) and partly cloudy on Sunday (16C to 9C). Not very informative, huh?
Corriere della Sera (major newspaper and media outlet) says about 9C and partly cloudy in the morning, becoming progressively more cloudy through the day (less than 10% chance of rain), until evening when the chance of rain rises to 50%, with a high of 19C. For Sunday, it says it will start off cloudy with a 40% chance of rain (low Sunday morning about 10C), and becoming less cloudy through the day, with the high of 18C and the chance of rain declining to less than 10%.
Of course, since I don't think Corriere della Sera is published in Rome, we are going to have to trust their local reports ;-)
Good luck...and bring an umbrella!

Due to extreme climatic changes the World is experiencing at the moment, trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local, on the day variations.
Most places now are seeing weather conditions well outside the norm.
The information below should be used as a guide only.
Here is the average weather for Rome for this time of year.
Enjoy your holiday.
October.
High 72f / 22c
Low 52f / 11c
Rain 3.80in / 97.0mm
Rain days 12
Hours of sun 6
Daylight hours 11
UV level 4 = Moderate
Humidity = None
I know they are only averages but it does not look too bad.
It's impossible to be certain in advance when weather is so potentially changeable (summer in Rome is much easier).

pretty sound (although in Italian, it is easy to work out) or you can get hour-by-hour daily forecasts here (ditto):

The first thing we headed for when we arrived in Rome was the Coloseo. Outside the entrance stands the Arch of Constantine. An imposing piece of work in its own right but dwarfed next to the shear size of the Colosseum.
Sunglasses! (The Roman sun can get very bright. Also, there's a lot of dust flying around in the air and you can use them to save your eyes)
I can't emphasize good shoes enough (no stilletos, please!) The cobblestones are the worst I've ever seen! And to get to the really cute shops, you need to check out the smaller alleyways, which are filled with the bumpiest and rockiest cobblestones ever! Many European hotels and B&Bs do not carry wash cloths, so bring your own.
Also, if you're staying in a B&B where you have to share a bathroom (in the hallway or between rooms) which is common in several European B&Bs, bring flip flops to wear in the shower! You don't know what's been down there! If you bring a digital camera, don't forget you might need an electrical transformer for the battery charger. If you use disposable batteries, make sure you bring some. European stores don't carry all types of digital camera batteries and you may have a difficult time locating a store that has it.
Open every sunday morning until about 1 p.m., this huge market streets have a special ambience. It's crowded and loud, depending also on the weather of course. They sell first of all clothes and hand bags and shoes. Some of them are really rubbish, but you will find anything you like. And it is cheap, so you will buy it. It doesn't mind that the quality isn't at it's best, because it's worth the price anyway.
A good place to get some presents for your family and friends. You pay almost nothing. Compare the different sellers. For the same product you pay different prices.
There are two airports Leonardo da Vinci and Ciampino.Do look for a cheap flight deal to fly to Rome,there are plenty around.
Taxis are expensive and it is better to get a bus or a train.There are buses and trains available from the 2 airports to the city centre.When you are there ,you can walk or catch buses to sites.Here is the beautiful Trevi fountain.
Even most Italians admit that the region of Emilia-Romagna (where Bologna is) has the best food. But you don't have to go there to have it--it's right here at this restaurant in Rome. It's also nice to go here if you get sick of Roman food. Lasagna, tortellini, and pasta with ragu are all typical dishes of the region. This is not a cheap place, but it's not out of this world, either. You must have the pumpkin ravioli--they are amazing.
