When to go

Umbria in August

Across the 48 Umbria towns we hold, August averages 31 degrees by day and 18 at night, with about 6 days of rain. Measured 2020–2024.

Where to go in August

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 August: Tuscany, Marche, Lazio.

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

Or the whole country: Italy in August, and every town in Umbria.
