Weather

Slovenia's coastal area has a Mediterranean climate, typical of the coastal regions of the Adriatic. While summer is quite pleasant and mostly dry with average highs usually just below 30°C (86°F), cold northeastern bora winds and heavy rainfall often detract from the appeal of an otherwise mild winter. Inland the eastern European climate takes hold. Central Slovenia's winters are cold, though while the sun is out the mercury is usually just above zero (32°F). Unfortunately the charming summer days that sit in the high 20°Cs (low 80°Fs) are often subject to significant downpours that continue for the rest of the year.
