Weather

Most of Slovenia has a distinctly continental climate, with hot summers and very cold winters, although the coastal area is Mediterranean and therefore does not experience the winter cold. Generally, spring and autumn are short. Winter lasts from mid-November to around the end of March, and is mostly dry, although heavy snowfall is not uncommon. Spring is short, and can be rainy. Summer starts in the middle of May, and is hot. Due to the accumulated precipitation of winter, June is hot and very humid with frequent thunderstorms, whereas the rest of summer, until the end of September, is dry and sunny. Autumn is dry and still, with foggy mornings and sunny, warm afternoons.
The average day temperature in October is around 12 degrees Celsius. The weather is generally pleasant, but it can be changeable. So a raincoat or an umbrella and warm clothing might be useful.
