Let's figure out for which month it is better to look for a ticket and when is it better to fly to Montenegro, if you decide to spend your upcoming vacation in the picturesque expanses of Montenegro.

Climate features

In terms of weather conditions, Montenegro is a unique country, since it is scattered across several climatic zones: mountainous, continental and marine. Due to this feature, the climate on the coast and inland varies. In the continental part, for example, the climate is temperate, characterized by hot summers and relatively warm winters. But in the mountains, winters are snowy, to the delight of skiers and snowboarding fans. In general, as in most European resort countries with mountains and sea, there are two seasons in Montenegro: summer and winter.

Summer

The main magnets for tourists during this period — resorts on the Adriatic Sea and on the shores of the Bay of Kotor. The latter at the peak of the season warms up a couple of degrees more — up to +24 °C.

The air temperature in the central part of the country in summer is higher than — within +18… +29 °C, at this time in coastal areas it is sunny and +17… +25°C. The coolest thing in the mountains: +12… +20°C. If you do not tolerate the summer heat very well, then keep Budva and Herceg Novi as a guide for the trip. And if you want to get the maximum dose of sun — go to Ulcinj or Kotor, these are the hottest tourist locations.

If, in addition to the sea, you really want to get acquainted with the mountains, you can go on excursions in the Tara and Moraca canyons without reference to the season. On especially hot days, you can see +50 °C on the thermometer, but because of the proximity of the mountains, high temperatures are easier to bear.
