🏊 Swimmable sea this month (≥22°C)
Lecce sits in the Mediterranean basin in Italy, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the June peak reaches a 98/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 30°C — a solid base for a trip of museums, food and old streets.
The year runs from average lows of 7°C in January to highs of 32°C in July. Rain is most likely in November, when about 39% of days see meaningful rainfall, and least likely in July (7%). Beach-warm afternoons (24°C and up) hold through May–September.
Averaged by season, sun scores land at 84 for spring, 94 for summer, 84 for autumn and 60 for winter — with typical afternoons of 20°, 31°, 23° and 14°C respectively. In short: plan around summer if you can, keep spring as the fallback, and go into winter with managed expectations (its season score is 60). If your dates are flexible, September buys you 27°C warmth at the quiet end of the season.
