What is the weather typically like in Hvar?
Hvar has a classic Mediterranean climate, meaning long, sunny summers and short, mild winters. The live forecast above gives you the immediate picture, but broadly, July and August are hot and dry, with sea breezes offering some relief. Spring and autumn are pleasantly warm, while winter sees more rain but rarely frost. The island’s sheltered position means it’s often a degree or two warmer than the mainland.
How does the wind affect Hvar weather?
The most significant local factor is the wind. The *bura* brings cool, dry, and sometimes gusty conditions from the north-east, often clearing the sky. The *jugo* (sirocco) arrives from the south, carrying warm, damp air that can make the atmosphere feel heavy before rain. The *maestral* is a welcome summer north-westerly that keeps temperatures comfortable. For a deeper dive into UK patterns, see our UK weather hub.

That depends on your tolerance for heat and crowds. For a balance of warm sea and lively towns, June and September are ideal. If you prefer quiet and cooler walks, consider May or October – the Hvar weather in May sees temperatures around 22°C, while Hvar weather in October drops to about 20°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rely on a 14-day forecast for Hvar?
Local forecasts, including those for Hvar weather 14 days, give a useful trend but often become less reliable after day 7. Use them for planning, but always check the weather in Hvar 10 days closer to your departure.
Does Hvar ever get cold in summer?
Rarely, but the *bura* wind can drop the apparent temperature by 5–10°C for a day or two. Even in July, a light jacket is useful after sunset, particularly if you are checking a Hvar weather forecast 30 days for seasonal averages.

From June to September sea temperatures range from 22°C to 26°C. If you are researching Hvar weather by month, May and October are around 18–20°C – pleasant for a brave dip but not for extended swimming.
