The Adriatic coast of Croatia enjoys a Mediterranean climate of cool, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. The sunniest island in Croatia is Hvar, with over 2,700 hours of sun per year. Split and Dubrovnik are the next sunniest spots in Dalmatia. Expect a range of temperature in the summer months of 60-90 degrees.
