Best time to visit Split
Croatia · 20-year averages
June is the best month in Split, scoring 84 out of 100, with January the weakest at 48. The 36-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs May to October — 6 months within ten points of the best.
August is the warmest month at 30.1 °C and January the coolest at 10.5 °C — a 19.6 °C spread across the year. Around 37 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in August and the months either side.
There is a real wet season here. November to December carry the rain — up to 13 wet days in a month — while July to August drop as low as 5. That 8-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Split, and it moves further than the temperature does.
Daylight runs from 9 hours in winter to 15.4 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.
The three strongest months are June, May, September. The one to think twice about is January. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
