Deep off-season — very low prices, but weather conditions are suboptimal.
February is the coldest winter month in Montenegro — with highs of only 14°C (57°F), it holds little appeal for sun-seekers. Better travel in May, June, July, and August.
Temperatures reach a maximum of 14°C (57°F) during the day and drop to 4°C (39°F) at night — warm layers recommended. Peaks reach around 18°C (64°F), the coldest nights around -4°C (25°F) — frost does occur. With 5 sunshine hours per day and 9 rain days (161 mm (6.3 in)), this is one of the cloudier months. At 14°C (57°F), the water is still quite cool in February — a wetsuit may be useful.
Pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Cool temperatures make hiking and cultural trips enjoyable — beaches are off the agenda.
Montenegro in winter: the Bay of Kotor, ringed by UNESCO-listed walls, almost deserted. Black mountains with snow and the sea below — one of the most dramatic settings on the Adriatic.
