Weather in Ljubljana

Ljubljana has a temperate climate with cold winters and relatively hot summers.

Spring (March to May) sees the temperature creep up from 6°C (43°F) to 15°C (59°F), offering pleasant weather forecasts.

Summer (June to August) is the busiest tourist season, with pavement café tables buzzing and a string of open-air cultural events. Because of its urban location, Ljubljana may feel hotter than breezy coastal Slovenia. The average daytime temperature sits around 25°C (77°F), but can reach 30°C (86°F) or higher.

Autumn (September to November) is short-lived, but the perfect season to visit because the weather is not too hot and the tourist crowds in Old Town dissolve. September sees an average temperature of 15.5°C (60°F).

Winter (December to March) can be chilly, but cosy visits to Ljubljana’s inns will warm up tourists even in the coldest months. Average temperatures range from 0.7°C (33ºF) to 1.8°C (35°F), with February seeing the highest snowfall. Don’t underestimate the city’s charming Christmas market and New Year celebration, which warrants a stroll along the riverbank to peer at glittering holiday lights.
