Climate chart - Kotor
The climate of Kotor is Mediterranean, with mild, rainy winters, and hot, sunny summers.
The city is located on the coast of Montenegro, in a valley which overlooks an inland gulf and is reminiscent of the fjords of northern Europe.

The winter, from December to February, is mild, and is characterized by sunny periods, alternating with periods of bad weather. Sometimes the rains can be abundant, and a strong southerly wind can blow.
Although the winter is generally mild, there can sometimes be very cold days, where the Levanac blows, a cold wind coming from the interior. In these cases, the temperature can drop to 0 °C (32 °F) or below at night, while the maximum can remain around 5 °C (41 °F) or below. At nearby Tivat Airport, the temperature dropped to -8 °C (17.5 °F) in February 1991 and in January 2017.
It is rare for the city to be covered in a white blanket of snow, however, this can happen every now and then, for example, it happened in February 2018.
The summer, from June to August, is hot and sunny, with some afternoon thunderstorms, and a few rainy days, more likely in June.
The influence of the sea is not so evident, also because, as mentioned, the city is located in a closed bay, however, there can be very hot periods, sometimes even long, with highs of 34/35 °C (93/95 °F) and more. In July 2007, the temperature reached 39.5 °C (103 °F).
