Weather
During the summer months, the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal sea breezes. In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy. Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months. Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above. Luckily they are rarely long-lasting. In the southern Adriatic, the “Scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common. Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter).
Sources for weather information:
- There is a continuous (computerized voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation.
- The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16.

Tourism
The town of Rodi di Garganico is pleasant enough, although most visitors come here for the beaches and the Gargano National Park with its wonderful ancient broadleaf Umbra Forest (Shady Forest). The Park also includes the charming mountain village of Vico del Gargano and fishing harbour and village of Peschici, both well worth a visit. For those of a religious bent, the village of Monte Sant’ Angelo has a spooky grotto over which a church was constructed following a miraculous incident involving a recumbent cow and a bending arrow (use your imagination) and a subsequent 5th century appearance of St Michael to a local bishop. A further 15 kilometres inland is the rather tacky religious conclave of San Giovanni Rotondo (of Padre Pio fame). While the town is rather tacky and exploitative of the faithful, seven million of whom visit each year, the simple grandeur of Padre Pio’s black marble tomb is rather moving.
