Climate chart - Cetinje
The climate of Cetinje is moderately continental, with cold winters and warm summers.
The city, the former capital of the Kingdom of Montenegro, is located a short distance from the sea, east of Mount Lovcen, and at 650 meters (2,100 feet) above sea level. The proximity of both the sea and the mountains makes it particularly rainy: in fact, we are in one of the wettest spots in Europe. Given the altitude, this means that there can be heavy snowfall in winter.
In winter, there are very cold periods, in which the temperature drops to -15 °C (5 °F) or below. The record is -23 °C (-9.5 °F).
Summer is hot and sunny, although thunderstorms can break out in the afternoon. The temperature range is high, so it can be cool, or even a little cold, at night, while during the day it can be very hot. The highest record is 39 °C (102 °F).
The average temperature of the coldest month (January) is of 1.2 °C (34 °F), that of the warmest month (July) is of 19.6 °C (67 °F). Here are the average temperatures.
