When is the water warm?
Monthly averages computed from Open-Meteo marine archive data (2022-2025). Terracotta bars = comfortable swimming (21°C+).
The pattern is reliable: the Adriatic off Budva warms slowly through spring, peaks around 27°C in July and August, and cools gently through autumn, so the sea in October is warmer than the sea in June's first days. If your priority is warm water without peak-season crowds, September is the honest sweet spot, and early October still works most years.
