What you gain in July
- ↑10mm of rain all month: the most reliably dry and sunny weather of the year — virtually guaranteed blue skies
- ↑Ravello Concert Festival at Villa Rufolo: world-class classical and jazz performances on the clifftop garden stage above the sea
- ↑Warmest sea temperatures (24°C): the best swimming and snorkelling conditions, with calm blue water across the coves
What you sacrifice
- ↓The SS163 coastal road at gridlock in peak hours: the drive from Positano to Amalfi (15km) can take 90 minutes — take the ferry
- ↓31°C midday heat makes the Path of the Gods and hillside hikes uncomfortable or dangerous — hiking limited to early morning
- ↓Peak prices across all categories: Positano hotels at annual highs, and restaurant bills to match
