The Cammino Materano (Via Peuceta) crosses open Murge landscapes with long, shadeless stretches and weather that shifts between sun and passing showers. April and October align with moderate warmth, clearer air after early rains, and daylight sufficient for full stages. Across the year, walkers encounter a Mediterranean mix—bright periods, intermittent rainfall, and occasional storms—along with breezes on exposed plateaus and seasonal temperature swings that range from cool and changeable in winter to very hot during midsummer.
