This tradition was maintained later in the Venetian Republic and other states on the territory of modern Italy. Ferragosto has been celebrated since 18 BC in the Roman empire where it marked the end of the most intensive rural works. The name originates from the latin “Feriae Augusti” which means the festivity of Augusto, in honor of Ottaviano Augusto, the first Roman emperor. It is Ferragosto - the Italian holiday period. The most popular period is the two central weeks of August, approximately from 10 to 25 - varying from year to year depending on the calendar. The Dolomites are most visited starting from the middle of July and until the last week of August. The two central weeks of August are the peak of the Italian holiday season Thunderstorms are much less frequent in the Dolomites in September. Relatively low temperatures result in transparent air and thus excellent visibility contrary to the hot summer months of July and August. Negative temperature at night is not unusual at 2000 meters and higher. Sunny days with moderate day temperatures between 10☌ and 15☌ at 2000 meters are typical in September in the Dolomites. Early snow mostly melts away during the first sunny day, because days are warm in September. The earliest first snow in the Dolomites in the past years was in the last week of August, the latest - in the second week of October, but normally it comes in September. ![]() However, the hot summer weather ends in September, typically with a strong atmospheric front passing over the Dolomites and bringing a few rainy days with snow reaching as low as 1700 meters of altitude. Statistically, September is the month with the lowest precipitation during the hiking season in the Dolomites. This is why we recommend starting walking early in the morning, for example at 8 AM, to cover more than a half of the daily distance by lunchtime.Ĭlear sky in the morning, increasing probability of thunderstorms in the late afternoon - typical weather pattern in July and August in the Dolomites Dolomites in September The most typical day pattern is clear sky in the morning and accumulation of clouds early in the afternoon with an increasing probability of thunderstorms later in the afternoon and in the evening. At 2000 meters, a normal temperature range is between 10☌ at night and early morning to 20-23☌ in the middle of a sunny day. However, nights are fresh even at this altitude. It can be hot in the Dolomites’ valleys too - a peak day temperature of almost 30☌ is not unusual in the base camp locations such as Val di Fassa, Cortina d’Ampezzo and Val Gardena which are at altitude of 1200 - 1500 meters. Temperatures can reach 35☌ in towns such as Trento and Bolzano which are at 200 meters of altitude. The weather in July and August is mostly defined by powerful north african anticyclones delivering hot air to Italy and the southern Alps, and thus to the Dolomites. This is the peak of the hiking season statistically characterized by stable weather conditions. July and August in the Dolomites are normally sunny and warm.
