Croatia has a Mediterranean climate along its coastline with mild winters, around 10°C/50°F and hot, dry summers of around 30°C/86°F Inland, the climate is continental with harsher winters, 5°C/41°F in Zagreb in January, and warmer, more humid summers than on the coast. Along the Adriatic coast between Istria and Dalmatia, the climate is mild in winter and rather humid with daytime temperatures reaching 12°C/53°F in January in Dubrovnik. During this period, the bora, a freezing wind from the northeast, blows, cooling temperatures. In spring, temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 20°C/68°F to 25°C/77°F between May and June and the air becomes drier. It is a pleasant time to visit the country. In summer, it is very hot and dry with temperatures that can exceed 30°C/86°F on the coast in July and August. In autumn, the weather remains mild and temperatures are still pleasant with 20°C/68°F in the south of Dalmatia. The sea temperature varies between 14°C/56°F in winter in January and 25°C/77°F in summer in Split.

The mainland climate is continental with cold temperatures in winter and warm, rather humid summers. In Zagreb, the thermometer will not exceed 5°C/41°F during the day in January with negative temperatures at night. In altitude, the snow will be there and there are some ski areas where you can practice skiing in Sljeme and Platak. In summer, temperatures on the plains are quite hot with maximum averages of 27°C/80°F and it is not uncommon for such days to end in a storm. The most pleasant time to travel to Croatia is between May and September. The sun will be out to visit the countryside or relax on the Adriatic coast. And for those who prefer to escape the summer crowd, spring and autumn are two perfect seasons to discover Croatia with its magnificent Plitvice lakes, its coast and its beautiful coves and architectural jewels.
