Amalfi
Cliffside lemon-groves and pastel villages stacked over the Tyrrhenian — Italy at its most postcardly. Eye-watering in July-August, much more reasonable in May or September.
A decent stretch with some sun and a chance of a shower.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Structural odds, not a verdict — the live forecast can still surprise either way.
Avoid August unless price is no concern — Amalfi triples in cost and the coast road becomes a single lane of crawling buses. May and September are the calibration months: warm enough to swim (22-25°C sea), shoulder pricing, working ferries. Stairs everywhere; not for limited mobility. The town of Amalfi itself is more workable than Positano (cheaper, less Instagram-clogged) for actually staying.

Common questions about Amalfi
When is the best time to visit Amalfi?
May–June and September–October are when we'd go. Skip August: peak crowds and peak prices. The live forecast on this page shows what the next two weeks look like.
Is Amalfi worth visiting in June?
Yes. June sits inside the best stretch (May–June and September–October). Once your dates fall within the next two weeks, the forecast above gives you the real picture.
Is Amalfi good in August?
We'd go another month: August means peak crowds and peak prices. Locked dates? It still works if you book far ahead and brace for peak prices.
