Погода: Лечче, октябрь

Forum posters consistently describe October as warm and comfortable in Matera, with one October 2017 visitor reporting beautiful, dry, sunny weather throughout - though posters note that specific experience may reflect a fortunate stretch rather than a guarantee. Posters generally rate October as a strong choice once the height of summer heat has passed, with noticeably lighter crowds and more pleasant temperatures for wandering the Sassi districts on foot. Posters consistently flag hotel availability, not weather, as the main planning risk for an October trip, recommending booking well ahead since rooms fill up fast this time of year. Posters generally rate October as one of the best overall months to visit Matera.

Forum posters cite typical November daytime temperatures in Lecce around 15-20C, with early-month visits sometimes running warm enough for short sleeves outdoors during the day, even as evenings turn cold enough to rule out sitting outside for dinner. Posters describe the month as more often dry than wet, with one visitor's early-November trip seeing a bit of rain but nothing that disrupted plans. Posters consistently rate an October or November visit to Lecce and Puglia as perfectly comfortable for sightseeing, mild and pleasant more often than not. Posters generally rate November as a comfortable, mild shoulder-season month for Lecce, cool evenings the main thing to plan around.

Forum posters call May one of the hardest months to predict here - sunny days can turn genuinely warm, but a rainy stretch brings noticeably cool evenings, and there's no reliable way to know in advance which pattern a given week will bring. Sea temperatures stay cool this early (around 18C mid-month, warming to roughly 20-21C by month's end), too cold for comfortable swimming for most visitors even on a hot, sunny day. The clear upside repeatedly mentioned: crowds are minimal in May compared to peak summer, making it a favorite month among posters specifically for exploring Lecce, Ostuni, Polignano a Mare and the rest of Puglia's baroque towns without the summer rush - even if beach time isn't the main draw yet.
