Weather extremes

Dubrovnik's weather extremes

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Dubrovnik has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do. This station's daily record ended in 2023, so these are historical extremes from that period, not records updated to today.

Based on 50+ years of daily weather observations (1971–2023), from the Dubrovnik station 16 km away. Updated through December 2023 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

The four kinds of extreme

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest single days Dubrovnik has recorded — each shown against what a normal day that time of year looks like.

🔥 Hottest day
101°F Aug 7, 2012

That is about 15°F hotter than a normal August afternoon in Dubrovnik (typical high near 86°F).

🌧️ Most rain in one day
10.20 in Oct 2, 2018

More rain in a single day than Dubrovnik usually gets in the whole month of October (typical October total about 4.9 in).

How hot and cold it gets, month by month

The shaded band is the normal range of daily temperatures for each month. The dots show the most extreme it has ever been — so you can see how far beyond a normal day the records really sit.

Dubrovnik's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — August's 101°F is about 15°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Dubrovnik's warmest days reach the mid-80s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-40s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 101°F and as low as 20°F. A single day has delivered over 10 inches of rain. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
Methodology & sources

Temperature & precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 30 years of daily observations at Dubrovnik, a weather station, about 16 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
