Best month for your event in Croatia

How it works

Pick a place and say how much each thing matters. Every month gets a score from 0 to 1 for each priority; the match score is the weighted average of those, times 100. The three best months are explained in plain language, with the public holidays that fall in them.

• Warm weather: average daily high, from 8 °C (score 0) to 26 °C or more (score 1).
• Dry days: days with at least 1 mm of rain, from 10 or more (0) to 3 or fewer (1).
• Sea swim: sea temperature, from 17 °C (0) to 24 °C or more (1). Off for inland places.
• Quieter season: where the month sits between the area’s busiest month (0) and quietest month (1) for tourist overnight stays.
• Outdoor-friendly: a blend of comfortable highs (best at 24 °C, zero at 14 °C or 34 °C, counted twice), dry days and sunshine (10 hours a day scores 1).

About the data

• Climate figures are DHMZ climate normals for 1971–2000: 30-year averages for one weather station per place, not a forecast. Any single year can be warmer, cooler, wetter or drier.
• Sea temperatures for Split and Dubrovnik are DHMZ normals. DHMZ publishes none for the Rijeka station, so Rijeka uses Weather Atlas figures, which are unofficial and do not state their period; treat them as a rough guide.
• Tourist overnight stays are DZS figures for 2025 (commercial accommodation, from eVisitor) for the county around each place, or the City of Zagreb. They show one year, not an average.
• Public holidays follow the Croatian holidays act (NN 110/19). Easter Sunday, Easter Monday and Corpus Christi move each year and are calculated for the year you choose.

Around holidays and in peak season, venues and suppliers book up sooner and some close for the day. If an outdoor plan matters, ask each venue about an indoor alternative whatever the month.
