Low-carbon travel from Rome, month by month
From Rome, the warmest place reachable without flying is Rossano Stazione at 31.2 °C in July, for 12.7 kg CO₂e return. In 7 months of the year the train reaches somewhere averaging 18 °C or more within the time budget; in the rest, nothing that warm is modelled within reach by rail.
Three questions, twelve months. Pick the one that matches what you're actually after — the warmest place is rarely the sunniest.

Warmest is not sunniest
They come apart, and the gap is the useful part. A mild Atlantic coast can be grey; a colder inland month can be bright. Temperature alone will send you somewhere wet, which is why every table on this site carries sunshine and rainfall next to the degrees.
Every month, both questions
