The north wind starts in the morning very early. So also in the summer it can be a bit cold before the sun comes up. A full suit is nice then, but in the afternoon a shorty is enough.

The north wind starts in the morning very early. The best is to use the lift service and get a drop of on the lake. This because the wind is unstable close to the shore.

Not much in Limone, but Riva and Torbole are great. There are often firework shows on the lake and beach parties.
