Averages for Dubrovnik in January

Dubrovnik is a resort in Croatia, located on the Adriatic coast roughly 300 miles to the North of Greece.

Like many Mediterranean countries, Dubrovnik enjoys fairly mild winters. Temperatures in January range from a high of around 7°C (about 44°F) to a low of 0°C (about 32°F).

This may seem fairly cold, but temperatures in January are in fact as cold as they tend to get in Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik is ideal for an escape during the much colder temperatures typically experienced in the UK and some other European countries during January.

Dubrovnik also has an average rainfall of 139mm during the month of January, usually occurring over 13 days of the month. Therefore warm, waterproof clothing is a definite must.

The average sea temperature in January is around 14°C (about 57°F) so swimming is not recommended.

With a population of just over 43000, Dubrovnik is one of the most vibrant cities on the Adriatic coast. New Year's Eve, or Nova Godina, as it is locally known, is an excellent time to be in Dubrovnik.

The stradun, or main street, with the medieval walled city becomes a huge centre for celebration. Musicians, celebrities and politicians party with locals and tourists among the street entertainers, food stands and bars long into the night.
