Visitors can enjoy warm evenings and nights with low temperatures averaging 19°C and hot afternoons with temperatures up to 28°C on average.

Rain

The total accumulation of rainfall is slightly higher now than it was in July, totaling 30mm. This is, however, still very, very low. August has only 3 days with precipitation, meaning that there are no fewer than 28 days without any rainfall at all. The beginning of the month is the driest time of the entire year, so, naturally, the chance that rainfall occurs increases a bit as the month progresses. It rises from 17% to 24% in the course of the month. Because of the hot and dry weather, thunderstorms are the most common type of rainfall. They occur on 57% of the days with rainfall. Moderate rain might be experienced as well, although it only happens on 25% of those days.

August is also one of the sunniest months in Puglia. On average, there are 9 hours of sunshine per day, one hour fewer than the annual maximum of 10 hours in July and the same as in June.

Things to Do In Puglia In August

Pizzica

The "pizzica" is a travelling festival that visits towns all over the "heel of Italy" in summer. It comes to an end in late August in the town of Melpignano. This traditional parade, dance and event dates back many generations and has become a popular attraction in the region. In Melpignano at the end of August, the festival ends with a bang. The "Night of the Tarantula" is a musical concert by local folk bands. This is absolutely a recommended event to attend when visiting the region in summer.

Alberobello And Its Trulli

One of major highlights in Puglia is Alberobello and its "trulli". This town consists of nothing but white and grey stone buildings topped with typical conical roofs. This townscape is unique to the regionts cultural and historic significance are the reason it was declared World Heritage by UNESCO. The houses are built with limestone, which is found in abundance in the region, and without mortar. They date back to as far as 1350.

Trulli are round buildings, their rooms centered on the central main room. Because of the lack of many windows, the room temperature remains fairly stable all-year round. What makes these buildings so remarkable, however, is their roofs, which are made up of circles of stone slabs that become smaller with height, thus creating circular domes. Strolling through the streets of this extraordinary town is a perfect thing to do on a 28°C-warm August afternoon.
