Plan your visit for June to September for the most dependable warmth along the Adriatic, though May and October offer quieter conditions with fewer crowds. The live forecast above gives the current picture for the coast and inland areas.
What is the weather like in Croatia by month?
The Adriatic coast around Dubrovnik, Split and Pula enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. July and August are the hottest months, with daily highs often above 30°C. Inland Zagreb sees colder winters and more rainfall year-round. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are pleasant for sightseeing, with sea temperatures still warm enough for swimming into October.

What should I pack for Croatia?
For summer visits (June–August) pack light clothing, sun protection and swimwear. A light jacket or jumper is useful for evening breezes along the coast. For spring and autumn, bring layers and a waterproof jacket. In winter, especially inland, you will need warm clothing and sturdy shoes. School holidays in July and August mean higher prices and busier resorts, so book ahead.
Is Croatia warm in October?
Yes, particularly along the coast. Daytime highs in Dubrovnik and Split average 20–22°C, and the sea remains warm enough for swimming until late October. Evenings are cooler, so pack a jacket.
Does it rain a lot in Croatia?
Rainfall varies by region. The coast receives most rain in autumn and winter, with November the wettest month. Summer is typically dry and sunny. Inland areas like Zagreb get more consistent rainfall throughout the year.
