Podgorica experiences a Mediterranean continental climate with distinct seasonal variations. The city enjoys hot, dry summers with temperatures reaching their peak in July and August (93-94°F), while winters are mild and wet with temperatures ranging from 35-54°F. The rainfall pattern shows a clear Mediterranean influence, with wet winters and springs (6.5 inches from January-March) transitioning to very dry summers (only 1.4-2.4 inches June-August), before autumn brings increased precipitation again, particularly in November with 10.3 inches. The climate is characterized by two main seasons: a wet period from October through April when most of the annual precipitation occurs, and a dry summer period from June through August. Spring (April-May) and early autumn (September) serve as pleasant transitional periods with moderate temperatures and decreasing rainfall. Humidity remains consistently around 70% throughout the year, contributing to comfortable conditions despite the temperature variations.
