Traveller notes on Positano in March
Other months in Positano
Positano's forum calls July hot, around 84°F on average, warm rather than scorching but genuinely more intense with the coast's humidity added in. Regulars flag mosquitoes as worth planning around if the room doesn't have proper air conditioning, and note July is the Amalfi Coast's most crowded month, though there's still room to escape the crowds if you look.
