Hi Maria

Riviera Splendour would offer the lowest rainfall (about 66mm per month in September) but the other holidays wouldn't be too much wetter at around 100mm. Average temperatures for Riviera Splendour would also be higher - probably around 20 degrees Celsius compared with 15 degrees for the others.

So if good weather is your priority, I would go for Riviera Splendour. If it''s beautiful scenery, I would go for one of the others.

Kind regards,

I've done my first JY to Lake Como and now that the brochure's arrived, I definitely want to book for next year. But I just can't decide between 3 trips. I want to stay in Europe and am torn between Heart of Alpine Europe, Austrian lakes or Riviera Splendour. I would like to go early September and prefer to avoid the likelihood of rain .... I know weather is hard to predict. They all look so inviting! Any help would be appreciated.thumbup:
