Climate and Average Weather in Croatia
Croatia is a country in the Balkans on the east side of the Adriatic Sea, to the east of Italy. The climate depends on the distance from the Adriatic Sea, so most places in Croatia have different weather conditions. In general all cities in Croatia offer good weather year around. The city Dubrovnik, a coastal city, offers a typical Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters.
The best travel time for Croatia depends on your destination. For a general holiday, the period May to September would be the best time to travel to Croatia. Temperatures are very pleasant, with average maximum temperatures of around 27 to 30 degrees Celsius (80.6 - 86 Fahrenheit). Inland and on the northern coasts, the summer months are a bit wetter, while in the central and southern coastal areas summer is more dry. For a city trip to Dubrovnik, Split or Zagreb we recommend to go in the months April, May, June, September and October. July and August are guaranteed to be warm, but can also be too hot.
