My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Sardinia across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Best months: May, June, October — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I went to Sardinia in May 2023 and was surprised by the early almond blossoms covering hillsides before peak season. Best months: May averages 22°C, 45mm rainfall, and 80% sunny days; June is similar with slightly higher temps. Avoid Cagliari boat rentals on weekends—they cost double if booked last minute, a trap many miss.
