The climate of Bitola (Macedonia)
Bitola lies in the south-west of Macedonia in the Pelagonian plain at
about 600 meters above sea-level. Concerning numbers of inhabitants it
is the third largest town of the country. It is an ancient town
mentioned in the history books to have existed already in the second
century BC. Of the long history of the town there is still little to
be seen in Bitola. Throughout the ages the town was destroyed several
times. The oldest building in the town is the bell-tower of Bitola
that has been here since the sixteenth century.
Macedonia has a moderate continental climate with warm dry summers and
fairly cool winters. The area south-west of the town of Bitola is
somewhat cooler in the winter than the lower situated parts of
Macedonia. The amount of precipitation here is fairly equally
scattered over the year and will come down as snow on the coldest days
of the year. The summers are warm and agreeable but can be pretty hot
from time to time. The small amount of precipitation that falls there
can then provide the necessary cooling.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
