Montenegro Climate - Year-Round Guide for Weather in Montenegro

You’ve always planned to visit Montenegro, but never had a chance to organise your trip effectively, due to bad weather conditions or bad timing in general. Either way, weather is a factor none of us can ignore, especially when we’re really eager to discover someplace new, in the most comfortable way.

Sure, there are storm catchers and adventurers among us, but for the rest of us, climate is an element we always consider regarding our travel plans. Montenegro is a special snowflake, which we can tell you upfront. Montenegro weather is an ever-changing thing, depending mainly on geography.

For those of you who are looking for more than a summer vacation, a cruise or a typical holiday, and want to discover our charming country in a more profound manner, take a look at our Montenegro weather guide containing helpful tips for planning your next trip.

The summers on the coast are always hot and dry, with brief, intense storms lasting no more than an hour. The temperatures generally range between 20 and 39 degrees during the day, especially in July and August, with sunny days almost guaranteed. The evenings are still warm and therefore perfect for walks on the shore, trying seafood specialities in beach restaurants, or maybe partying the night away.

Ulcinj weather is slightly more enhanced compared to the rest of the coast, since it’s located in the southern part of the coast. That said, the summers are hotter and sunny, though tempered by the breeze, while the Bay of Kotor is sheltered, resulting in the Montenegro climate being milder here.

Outside of this period, you will uncover that most of the coastal residences are being sealed off until the summer season, but this should not worry you since the Montenegro climate is diverse and offers a wide range of other options to plan your trip.

In the beginning, we already mentioned that the Montenegro climate depends mainly on the country’s geography, which is highly evident in the Montenegro mountains, whose interior is entirely different from the shore. The Montenegro weather in the mountains remains cool even during the summer, which can be a welcoming change for everybody who needs a break from the summer heat, and here is where you can do exactly that.

Žabljak is located on the mountain Durmitor, representing 2 out of the five National parks of nature in Montenegro. These little gems are made for walking, hiking, and generally relaxing, with great hotels and service available. Here you can ski during winter, while the summers are balmy, with temperatures ranging from around 20 to 30 degrees during the day.

When it comes to choosing a perfect time for going on a yacht charter along the bay, or some more elaborate one, June is absolutely perfect, since it’s the beginning of the summer season, and it’s not that crowded yet.

This time of the year is also great if you have decided to go on a Mediterranean cruise altogether, with Montenegro being one of the respectable stops on your journey. While making a break and catching a breath in our waters, the best possible decision you can make is to berth in the Porto Montenegro marina, the best and most functional marina in the whole country.

This is also a great decision regarding the rest of your journey, since you can easily continue in any possible direction you’ve planned, without circling or going for alternative sailing routes.

On the other hand, the weather in Montenegro in September is made for all of you who’d like to avoid the peak of the season, and stroll the half-empty beaches and uncrowded roads, but still delight in plenty of sunny and warm days.

Speaking of perfect Montenegro weather, May is a cooler month in our country, but it is made for adventuring and succumbing to activities that require a nice, but not too warm weather. This is an especially great month for sight-seers, since you’ll be able to check out some of the most well-known Montenegro sights, as well as make some great road trips across the country.

The weather in Montenegro in October is similar to May, with the main difference being that May is sort of a warm-up for the upcoming summer season, while October is an ideal month for all hiking and mountaineering lovers. It’s a lot cooler than in summer months, but still warm enough to spend some relaxing days high up in the mountains.

Our year-round Montenegro weather will help you plan your trip better and more in sync with your wishes when it comes to discovering our secluded Mediterranean gem.
