The climate of Ohrid (Macedonia)
Ohrid is a medium-sized town in the south-west of Macedonia on Lake
Ohrid. In this lake lies the frontier with neighboring country
Albania. In the town is the Antique theatre of Ohrid which is
registered in the Unesco world inheritance list, together with the
rest of the natural and cultural inheritance of the region of Ohrid.
This theatre dates from the second century BC and was built here by
the Greeks. The town was a popular holiday destination with the
Yugoslavs until the disintegration of the Republic of Yugoslavia. Of
late years the town has been investing hard to regain this status.
Ohrid has a moderate continental climate slightly influenced by the
Mediterranean climate of the Mediterranean and the Adriatic. Through
this influence the average day temperature in the summer period is
some degrees lower but the average temperature in the winter months is
just a little higher here. Therefore long-lasting periods of frost and
night-frost will occur here less often. On an average the most
precipitation falls here in the winter months, on the coldest days of
the year this will come down as snow or sleet.

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:
