Weather in Puglia in January
January in Puglia is cool outdoor weather: usable if you dress for it, not a beach brief.
In Italy, this is how Puglia actually wears January, not how a country centroid would. January is the cold side of the year in Puglia. Pack for that, not for a leftover summer photo.

What to expect
Daytime
Cool days in Puglia: a jumper you can take off, a shell in the bag. Walking is fine. Lingering outside without a layer is optimism.
Mornings and evenings are colder than the postcard. Pack for both, especially if you leave the built-up centre.
Rain
January is a wetter month in Puglia. Showers are part of the deal, not a spoiled surprise.
Waterproof shoes matter more than a rain plan for a beach, especially if a beach is not why you came. Build indoor hours into the afternoon.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
