We went at the beginning of September, officially the end of the summer, but there was still constant sunshine and temperatures of high twenties to low thirties centigrade. But in the south, apart from large city and town centres, roads were wonderfully free of traffic jams. We could park right opposite 'Montalbano's house'. Speaking to a local bookshop owner (one of the few people we met on the island who did speak some English) we were told that episodes are filmed in March and April. So I imagine the roads would be even quieter.
