Climate in Brindisi (Apulia)

The climate of Brindisi is Mediterranean, with mild, relatively rainy winters and hot, sunny summers.
The city is located on the north coast of Salento, in southern Italy, in the Apulia region.
The average temperature of the coldest month (February) is of 10 °C (50 °F), that of the warmest month (August) is of 26 °C (79 °F). Here are the average temperatures.

Precipitation is not abundant, given that it amounts to 600 millimeters (23.5 inches) per year. It ranges from 10 mm (0.4 in) in the driest month (July) to 80 mm (3.1 in) in the wettest ones (November, December). Here is the average precipitation.

Winter, from December to February, is mild, and is characterized by sunny periods alternating with rainy periods.
Despite the mild climate, due to the proximity to the Balkan peninsula, there can be cold periods, usually of short duration, in which the temperature approaches freezing. In these cases, it can even snow, although it does snow less often than in Bari, and even less so than in the hills of Apulia. Some snowflakes can be seen almost every year, but an accumulation of a few centimeters on the ground occurs once every 4/5 years.
However, given the location on the coast, the temperature rarely drops below freezing. The cold record, -6.4 °C (20.5 °F), occurred in January 1979, otherwise we can only mention the -3.3 °C (26 °F) of January 1954 and the -3 °C (26.5 °F) of January 1985, plus other occasions when the temperature dropped to -1/-2 °C (28/30 °F).

Summer, from June to August, is hot and sunny, with very rare rains.
Generally, the temperatures are not too high and the breeze blows, however, heatwaves of African origin can sometimes occur: in these cases, it is possible for the temperature to reach or exceed 40 °C (104 °F). The temperature reached 43.5 °C (110.5 °F) in June 1982, 44 °C (111 °F) in August 1994, 42 °C (107.5 °F) in July 1998, 43 °C (109.5 °F) in July 2000, and 44.5 °C (112 °F) in July 2007.
