If you are planning a trip to Dubrovnik, the live forecast above gives the clearest snapshot of what to expect today and in the coming days, but the city’s weather is defined by a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm, often dry summers.
What is the typical climate in Dubrovnik?
Dubrovnik sits on the southern Dalmatian coast, giving it a classic Mediterranean climate. Summers are long, hot and sunny, with average high temperatures in July and August reaching around 28°C. Winters are mild and wetter; January highs hover near 12°C. The sea is warm enough for swimming from June through September. The city’s position means it can experience strong winds, particularly the bura in winter and the jugo in autumn.
When is the best time to visit for good weather?
For warm, settled conditions, June to September is the clear choice. May and October offer a pleasant compromise: fewer crowds, comfortable temperatures, and still plenty of sunshine. If you are checking dubrovnik weather by month, May averages 20°C and October 21°C, making both ideal for sightseeing without the peak-season heat.
