The best months to visit Turin are April, May, June, September and October, when average highs land in the comfortable range — 18.1 °C in April, 24.3 °C in September and 18.8 °C in October — with plenty of sun and manageable rain. April sees 10 rain days while September and October each see 9, so you get long, bright days for exploring the Mole Antonelliana without midsummer heat. July and August are peak season, with average highs of 30 °C and 29.7 °C alongside school-holiday crowds and higher prices. Winter is the quiet, low season: cold and often grey, with January highs of just 7.6 °C, but rewarding for those chasing museums and Alpine day trips.

How the months are picked.A month qualifies when its average high sits in the comfortable 20–28 °C band (scored down towards 9 °C and 37 °C), rain days are few and sunshine hours are high — at least 78 % of the city's best-scoring month. July and August are then set aside as peak season (school-holiday crowds and prices) whenever at least three other months qualify; where summer is the only comfortable window they stay. Figures are ten-year averages (2016-01-01 to 2025-12-31) from ERA5 reanalysis data via Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0) for the city centre coordinates.
