I was in Naples for week before Xmas a few years back and that was T-shirts & jeans weather. Hit & miss though, best take a cagoule.

We spent about 2 wks in March 2005 around Cinque Terre as we had to pick up our car from the port.. Owing to the snowy blizzards inland we had to stay for about a week until the snow cleared. We were based in Rapallo and had a wonderful time with blue skies despite the cold fresh weather.. It was great after the event .. we found Genoa top be too cold. Portofino is lovely anytime of the year.
Pot luck I suppose ..
