In Puglia, you're never far from the coast and its sea breeze, which means that the weather here is exceptionally mild. Summer highs are in the upper 20s (ºC) and winter lows rarely dip below 5ºC, and then only at night. As with most Italian and coastal destinations, the months of July and August see the hottest weather and the largest crowds. Come in May, June or September for pleasant weather and fewer tourists. The rainiest month is October, with an average of 6.35cm of rain (still not much!)
