Field notes
Mediterranean (Salento) — at the heel of the Italian boot, meaningfully drier than the Tyrrhenian or Adriatic peers because of the Salento peninsula's exposure between two seas. Winter (December–February, 10–12°C average) is mild. Summer (June–August, 24–27°C average, peaks above 38°C with sirocco winds from North Africa) is hot and dry. Spring and autumn are the cleanest shoulder windows.
