Montenegro has a Mediterranean climate on the coast and a continental climate inland. The country's diverse geography leads to significant variations in weather between regions.
Summers on the coast are hot and dry, with average temperatures ranging from 75°F to 86°F (24°C to 30°C). July and August are the hottest months, with temperatures occasionally exceeding 95°F (35°C).
Winters on the coast are mild and wet, with average temperatures ranging from 45°F to 55°F (7°C to 13°C). Snow is rare on the coast.
Inland areas have colder winters with significant snowfall, especially in the mountains. Summers are cooler than on the coast. In Podgorica, the capital, summer temperatures can reach 104°F (40°C), while winter temperatures can drop below freezing.
These seasons offer mild temperatures and are ideal for outdoor activities. Spring brings occasional rain showers, while autumn tends to be drier.
The official currency of Montenegro is the Euro (EUR), even though Montenegro is not a member of the European Union or the Eurozone. Montenegro unilaterally adopted the Euro in 2002.
