Weather in Dubrovnik in July

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, July is the one. Highs average 28.3 °C, lows 24.1 °C, and rain falls on 5 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

July ranks 2 of 12 in Dubrovnik. Only June scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain falls on only 5 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 28.3 °C days and 24.1 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 6 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break; the day barely swings — 4.1 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 33.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 18.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 37 mm — roughly 106% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. July rainfall has ranged from 2 mm to 130 mm across the twenty years measured — a 128 mm spread around an average of 35 mm. The average is real but almost no individual July looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 10.1 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 63%.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 25 °C in June, 28.3 here, 28.7 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Dubrovnik's year: 15 hours of daylight, losing 0.7 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 25.5 °C in July — warm enough to stay in as long as you like. This is the warmest the water gets all year.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Dubrovnik versus nearby

If Dubrovnik is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Split is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Bari is the weaker option in July — 3.8 °C warmer, 1 day less rain.

So: July is effectively as good as it gets here — 1 points behind June, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
