January is typically the coolest month in Florence. The temperature reaches around 7℃ during the daytime, falling away to 1℃ at night. The UV index will be low at this time of year, so not something to worry about. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's always a good idea to apply a small amount of sunscreen to exposed skin.
