Venice in summer is characterized by a humid and warm continental climate. There is a lot of humidity and the temperature is usually above 35 ° C. Sometimes, at the end of the day, there are sometimes violent thunderstorms.
Summer is the peak season par excellence and therefore prices are higher.
If you can come in the fall, the weather is generally more pleasant: the sun is shining bright and the days stay warm until early October.
As the days go by, it becomes gray and rainy.
In winter, the days of frost are frequent and the snow can even set: however, it is a good period to visit the city because the tourist influx is much less.

Therefore, it is better to come to Venice in spring, between May and June, and in autumn!
