Summer
Summer in Dubrovnik is hot: from +27°C in June to +32°C in August. The Mediterranean Sea warms up to +26°C by mid-July. Sometimes the first summer month can be cool, with lingering rain, but afterwards the heat can only be alleviated by the sea breeze, which brings with it brackish air filled with the scent of pine needles.
From the first decade of July to the middle of the second decade of August, Dubrovnik hosts the lavish Dubrovačke ljetne igre festival, an endless series of musical concerts and folklore ensembles. More recently, July has been embellished with another cultural event - the Festival of Opera in the atrium of the Princely Palace.
