Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.

When to go

From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.
RecommendedAvoid

Cruise season turns the old town into a queue. The 2023 Cerberus heatwave brushed the Adriatic but didn't produce the 45°C+ readings of mainland Greece. May, June, and September are the only times to see Dubrovnik properly — and you'll still want to be inside the walls before 09:00.
