Split Weather

Split Weather - Mediterranean weather
Split is situated on a peninsula between the eastern part of the Gulf of Kaštela and the Split Channel. The city has a Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers (maximum air temperature in July reaches 38C and warm, wet winters where average annual rainfall is 900mm. Split is one of the sunniest places in Europe where the average daily sunshine time during the year is about 7 hours, 12 in July. The part of Croatia that is best known and most visited by tourists is the Dalmatian coast and its offshore islands in the Adriatic Sea. The coast is backed by the high mountains of the Dinaric Alps, rising to 1,200-1,800 metres.

Weather In Split – Plenty of sunshine
Summers on this coast are not entirely rainless, and the fine, sunny weather is often interrupted by thunderstorms. Don’t let that put you off! In the main the summer weather in this part of Croatia is fantastic, with temperatures averaging above 20C from May to October, tipping 30C in July. Enjoy a summer sunshine average of eight hours a day!

Split Winter Weather - Still mild
Winter weather can feature a cold gusty wind, the bora, which brings cold air from central and eastern Europe down to the coast for a few days at a time. The wind blows particularly violently in the north of the Adriatic. Much of inland Croatia is mountainous or hilly, and winter snow lies for long periods in the higher regions. The average temperature during the winter months – from November to March – is still quite mild although winter rainfall here is heavy. Average daily sunshine is four hours a day. Make sure you pack an umbrella for a Split city break!
