Croatia: Climate & Weather
The country is divided into two parts; each has a fairly different climate: the internal part is characterized by a continental climate with a cold winter and snowfall as well as freezing temperatures and very hot summers with storms.
The coastal part has a Mediterranean climate with temperate winters and warm, dry summers and a sea temperature of 26°C in summer. The winds, the Bora from the north-east and the Jugo from the south, may change these general trends. The best time to visit Croatia is between May and September, apart from the months of July and August when heavy crowds, both local and foreign, arrive at the coast. |
