Montenegro Weather April

Are you planning to visit Montenegro in April and wondering if that is a good time for a trip and how April in Montenegro is likely to be? Similar to other destinations in the Mediterranean like Italy or Croatia, weather conditions in Montenegro in April can change at the drop of a hat.

The mean temperature (daytime) ranges from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Especially later on in the month, the maximum temperature can increase to above 30 degrees Celsius. April weather never stays the same for long. It’s a good idea to pack a light jacket for the evening – it can become quite cold.

Weather data shows that you can expect 7 – 10 days of rainfall for the entire month of April. The average monthly rainfall comes in at 118mm. The weather in April is usually too cold for swimming in the Adriatic Sea: the average temperature of the seawater is 15 degrees in April. 

The best time to visit Montenegro for a beach vacation is from Mid-June to the end of September. The month of April though is perfectly suited to exploring the country’s cultural heritage at mild temperatures and without the crowds. Kotor is beautiful at this time of the year and such is Budva and Tivat.

April is also the start of the rafting season. At this time of the year, the snow up in the mountains starts to melt, turning Montenegro’s rivers into raging torrents. The Tara River that flows through the Durmitor National Park is the center of Montenegro’s rafting tourism.

Should you arrive earlier in the month, you could also consider skiing in one of Montenegro’s ski resorts. Skiing in Montenegro is possible from December to April. While the probability of having snow is larger in and around Zabljak, the ski resort of Kolasin is more modern and has snow guns to make snow artificially.

After a long winter’s nap, the Skadar Lake comes back to life in april. It is a nice time of the year to explore the natural beauties of the National Park, especially by boat.
