Climate

Croatia can be divided into three Climatic regions. The lovely Adriatic coast enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate consisting of hot, dry and sunny weather during the summer and cool rainy weather in winter. The north has a continental climate of cold winters and hot summers and central Croatia has large forests with an alpine climate. The best time to visit Croatia is during the months of May through to the end of September when temperatures are usually 22°C and more. Temperatures during August have been known to top a sweltering 30°C so you may want to ensure the accommodation you choose has that all-important benefit of air conditioning.
