The climate of Istria (Croatia)
The Istria Peninsula is situated in the north western part of Croatia
between the Gulf of Trieste and the Kvarner. In general temperatures
are slightly lower here than in Dalmatia. However, the Mediterranean
climate and the many hours of sunshine make this an ideal vacation
destination. Several types of winds blow here that determine the
climate: the ‘Yugo’, a warm southerly wind that brings rain. The
‘Bura’ which brings clear weather and the ‘Maestral’ that blows during
the summer and offers refreshing air from the sea. The frequent
rainfall causes Istria to be one of the greenest places of Croatia
with its vast pine forests.

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
