When to go

Apulia in May

Across the 59 Apulia towns we hold, May averages 23 degrees by day and 14 at night, with about 9 days of rain. The sea off the 19 coastal towns sits around 19 degrees. Measured 2020–2024.

Where to go in May

Picked by a rule, not by mood: the weather in the comfortable band, our own editorial verdict on the town, a festival that month, and a sea worth swimming in. The reason is printed under each one.

Somewhere else, or some other month

Next door in May: Molise, Campania, Basilicata.

Apulia through the year: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Or the whole country: Italy in May, and every town in Apulia.
