The country has large differences in altitude, so the climate in different parts of the country is different. If the coast is warm in the summer + 35, and in the winter about zero, in the mountains, as a rule, to minus twenty degrees, and in the summer do not always want to change into shorts.

Regarding the settlements located in the mountainous area in the North of the country, there is often snow until July.

Tourist season

There are two tourist seasons in the Republic: summer and winter. Most of the tourists visit the country in the summer to swim in the sea.

Summer season

Lasts from may to mid-September. In summer, vacationers prefer to relax on the beaches. Intense heat is Ulcinj and Kotor, it is a bit cooler in Budva or Herceg Novi.

The average water temperature is +28, the sea is so clear and transparent that the water can be seen at a depth of 45 to 65 meters.

The air temperature warms up to +50C, but the heat is not felt so much due to the influence of the nearby mountains.

It should be remembered that in July-August a lot of tourists, and the most accessible beaches are a lot of people. Which entails dirt and overpriced goods.

We strongly recommend taking part in excursions that are worth the money spent on them.

If you are satisfied with a cleaner beach holiday, then we recommend going to the New World or Bulgaria.

Montenegro in spring and autumn

Some articles about the Republic tell that spring and autumn are the best time to visit the sights. We want to object to this, in the spring and autumn the rainy season begins here. Rainy weather in Montenegro can last for weeks without interruption, the locals “hibernate”.

Naturally, with this weather, the trip along the mountain roads dangerous enough, and see what You can not do anything. We would not advise resting during this period.
