What's the weather like in Lake Garda in August

August is one of the warmest months to visit the beautiful historic towns and villages which line the shores of Lake Garda. The warm temperatures and the amount of sunshine at this time of year make it a very popular tourist destination this month.

Temperature

Although slightly cooler than July, the average temperature at the lake this month reaches a warm 23ºC (73ºF) with highs of an average 29ºC (84ºF). The lowest temperature at this time of year, including night time temperatures, is an average 19ºC (66ºF), making it the perfect month for dining outside under the stars at some of the cafés and restaurants which line the lakefront of most of the towns and villages. As is the case for most of the summer months, the temperature at the lake tends to be slightly warmer at the southern end than at the north where it is shaded by the mountains around its shores.

Sunshine Hours

The days are long on the lake at this time of year with an average of 11 hours of sunshine, meaning that visitors have plenty of time to fit in many of the activities the lake has to offer from sightseeing to water sports before the sun goes down. If you're looking for a beach-style holiday this is also a great month to just lie by the lake and enjoy the sunshine with a 58% chance of experiencing a sunny day and only a 1% chance of a cloudy day without rain.

Wind

Wind remains light on the lake this month with only a 2% chance of a windy day.

Rainfall

While July is one of the driest months on the lake, this month does see a slight increase in rainfall with 69mm of rain falling over an average of 12 days and a 21% chance of a rainy day. Nevertheless, whether you choose to spend your entire holiday by the lake or take the opportunity to tour Italy, this is an ideal time to visit as the entire country basks in the warmth of the summer months.

Hotels in Lake Garda for August

Hotel Eden

Enjoy the Mediterranean-style sunshine of Sirmione in August at the Hotel Eden. Located in the historic part of the town next to the castle, this hotel is a perfect place from which to explore or just to relax in the sun on its stylish wood-decked sun terrace with loungers located on the hotel's own jetty beside the lake. There are even steps down to the water and an outdoor shower so you can swim right from the terrace.

Hotel Luise

If you're looking for a base for water sports, hiking and cycling around Riva Del Garda then the Hotel Luise is a great option. Close to the old town, the hotel also has a large outdoor pool and a stylish restaurant offering local cuisine.

B&B Villa Principessa

There are so many great restaurants and cafés around the lake that bed and breakfast accommodation is a good idea. The B&B Villa Principessa in Arco is a stylish option with rooms or apartments with kitchenettes. It offers guests a range of free facilities from the hot tub to bicycle hire.

Beaches in Lake Garda in August

Enjoy the beautiful August sunshine on one of the beaches which line the lake. The shingle beach at Salò has everything you could want from a lakeside beach starting in a leafy quiet area at one end then stretching towards the Lungolago promenade which takes you through the historic part of town, then on to the less crowded private beach of the stylish Mokai Beach Bar.

The pretty pebbled beach of Portese is family-friendly and popular with the locals but not too busy with tourists, even at this time of year. Walk down towards the port and you can enjoy refreshments at the numerous cafés and restaurants.

Bars and Restaurants

Ristorante Da Umberto

Visit the pretty port of Castelletto di Brenzone for a traditional, authentic Italian lasagne at Ristorante Da Umberto. Located right on the lakefront this traditional trattoria also specialises in fresh fish from the lake.

Wind's Bar

For a great meal or an evening cocktail in Torbole visit Wind's Bar. The lively atmosphere and friendly service make this a great place to spend the evening.

Things to do in Lake Garda in August

Isola del Garda

Follow in the footsteps of Francis of Assisi and explore the beautiful island of Isola del Garda with its historic buildings and stunning gardens. Located in the southwest of the lake close to San Felice del Benaco, this private island was once the site of a Franciscan monastery and later the site for the Venetian neo-gothic Villa Borghese Cavazza which still stands today. The real treat in August is to wander around the beautiful shaded landscaped gardens with their own groves of fresh citrus fruits, olive trees and rare plants.

Mountain Bike

Those who want to explore the area under their own steam should rent a mountain bike and explore the numerous trails that crisscross the Valtenesi region on the western shore of the lake from Desenzano to Salò and beyond.
