The climate at the Adriatic is typically a Mediterranean one, with mild rainy winters, and hot and dry summers, with a large number of sunny days. This area boasts an average of 2500 sunny hours per year, making it one of the sunniest regions in Croatia. In summer the air temperature reaches 30°C - 34°C and during July and August can rise up to 38°C.  In winter, there are still many mild, sunny days. Snow, fog and a temperatures below 5°C are very rare.

Average annual rainfall in the region is 1250mm with most of the rain falling in late autumn and winter, between the months of October and March. Occasional short thundershowers occur in summer.

During the warm summer months;( July and August) it is warm in the morning and evening, and hot in the afternoon. Due to the cooling effect of the sea and wind, excess heat episodes are rare and they happen mostly only in the afternoon.

Generally on the Adriatic coast, the feeling of well-being, or comfort level as defined by the TWH index (temperature-wind-humidity) is very favourable for the most part of the year. The most “comfortable” periods at the Adriatic coast are April, May, September and October.

From December until March, mornings and evenings are partly-cold, with cool afternoons. In early spring (April) and autumn (late October, November) temperatures are cool.

Due to the favourable position of Crikvenica and its shelter from strong winds - from the north thanks to the slopes of the mountain of Kapela and from the south thanks to the island of Krk, its climate is mild and relaxing. Owing to such favourable climatic and ecological conditions the first tourists began to arrive in Crikvenica on an organized basis, more than one hundred years ago, primarily for medical reasons. 

The two significantly important winds that effect sea conditions are, from the South; the“Jugo” and from the North; the “Bora”.

- The “Jugo” from the South is a constant, warm wind which can blow for days creating high waves and poor visibility.

- The cold “Bora” from the north can blow in extreme powerful downward gusts. It blows mainly in the winter when it can last for up to 7 days, while in the warmer months it is usually short-lived and lasts only a few hours or just a day or two.
