=== Climate ===
Dubrovnik has a [[Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Csa''). Dubrovnik has hot, muggy, relatively dry summers and mild to cool wet winters. The [[Bora (wind)|bora wind]] blows cold gusts down the Adriatic coast between October and April, and thundery conditions are common year round, even in summer, when they interrupt the warm, sunny days. The air temperatures can slightly vary, depending on the area or region. Typically, in July and August daytime maximum temperatures reach {{convert|28|°C}}, and at night drop to approximately {{convert|23|°C}}. In spring and autumn, maximum temperatures are typically between {{convert|20|°C}} and {{convert|28|°C|0}}. Dubrovnik has the mildest winters of any Croatian city, with daytime temperatures around {{convert|13|°C}} in the coldest months. Snow in Dubrovnik is very rare.

Since records began in 1961, the highest temperature recorded at the local weather station at an elevation of {{convert|52|m|ft}} was {{convert|38.4|C|F}}, on 7 August 2012.<ref>{{cite web |date=2022-07-19 |author=DHMZ |title=Najviše izmjerene temperature zraka u Hrvatskoj za razdoblje od kada postoje mjerenja |url=https://meteo.hr/objave_najave_natjecaji.php?section=onn&param=objave&el=priopcenja&daj=najvise_temperature_zraka |website=Državni hidrometeorološki zavod}}</ref> The coldest temperature was {{convert|-7.0|C|F}}, on 14 January 1968.<ref>{{cite web |date=2022-01-21 |author=DHMZ |title=Najniže izmjerene temperature zraka u Hrvatskoj za razdoblje od kada postoje mjerenja |url=https://meteo.hr/objave_najave_natjecaji.php?section=onn&param=objave&el=priopcenja&daj=najnize_temperature_zraka |website=Državni hidrometeorološki zavod}}</ref>
