Annual Water Temperature Trend

Bari, the capital of Apulia on Italy’s Adriatic coast, experiences a clear seasonal rhythm in sea temperatures that shapes local coastal life. During winter months (December–February) the water is coolest, typically around 12–15 °C, making swimming brisk and reserved for hardy locals or wetsuit wearers. In spring (March–May) the Adriatic begins to warm, with averages rising from about 13 °C in early spring to near 18–20 °C by late May. Summer brings the warmest conditions: June through August usually see sea temperatures in the 23–27 °C range, with July and August often at the annual peak. Into autumn (September–November) waters gradually cool again, commonly sitting between 17 and 23 °C in early autumn and falling toward the lower end by November.
