Climate in Hvar: best time to visit, weather by month, temperature

Hvar is a very special island in terms of climate. The winters are in fact quite mild, and the summers, hot but never sultry, are characterised by a very high number of hours of sunshine, more than 2700 throughout the year, making it possible to bathe from practically the middle of May to the end of October. Late spring, summer and early autumn are therefore the best times to visit Hvar, and are also the periods when the influx of tourists is greatest.

The climatic conditions on the island of Hvar are therefore purely Mediterranean, but with a rather narrow temperature range between summer and winter. Suffice it to say that snow falls about once every 20 years, and that the highest temperature ever recorded on the island is 37 °C, recorded in the summer of 1935. This allows vegetation to grow throughout the year, with a very wide variety of plant species, and crops to thrive throughout the year.
