You can expect comfortably warm temperatures for sightseeing and outdoor activities and no summer crowds.

On this page, you'll find what to expect from Montenegro weather in June —from the coast to the northern highlands.

Average Sea Temperature in June: 21°C (70°F)

In June, the Montenegrin coast truly comes alive with the full onset of summer. Temperatures lie in a comfortable range between 18°C (64°F) at night and 28°C (82°F) during the day.

For us locals, this means it’s time to start hitting the beach, with sunny skies and the Adriatic Sea warming up for swimming.

You'll have the beaches to yourself in Montenegro in June

June's weather is perfect for taking a boat trip to the Blue Cave or kayaking to the cave. It’s also still cool enough in the mornings to explore the pretty coastal towns like Kotor and Budva.

At this time of year, I love spending a day on Sveti Stefan’s incredible beaches.

Podgorica

Average High in June: 30°C (86°F)
Average Low in June: 16°C (61°F)
Average Monthly Rainfall: Approximately 30 mm (1.2 inches)

In June, Podgorica sees temperatures ranging from a pleasant 16°C (61°F) at night to a warm 30°C (86°F) during the day.

This is one of the best times to visit Podgorica because the city gets uncomfortably hot in July and August.

There are many good things to do in Podgorica at this time of year. If you’re just visiting for a day or two, you can book a city tour to see the highlights.

If you have more time, I recommend taking a tour to nearby Lake Skadar or Ostrog Monastery.

You can also visit Montenegro’s top winery, which is in Podgorica. The winery owns Europe’s largest unbroken vineyard and the wine cellar is in a former secret underground hangar. It’s very unique!

Northern Region

Average High in June: 25°C (77°F)
Average Low in June: 10°C (50°F)
Average Monthly Rainfall: Approximately 89 mm (3.5 inches)

In June, Montenegro's northern region transitions into summer. Temperatures are cooler here than in the coastal areas, ranging from 10°C (50°F) at night to 25°C (77°F) during the day.

There are many reasons to plan a visit to the north in June.

This weather is perfect for spending a few days in nature in Durmitor National Park. If you don't have that much time you can also see it on a day tour.

For thrill-seekers, there is rafting through the incredible Tara River Canyon, canyoning, via ferrata, and zip lining at the Ɖurđevića Tara Bridge.

Biogradska Gora National Park is lush and green, and one of Europe’s last remaining primeval forests.

Prokletije National Park finally shakes off the last of winter and is a paradise for serious hikers.

What to Pack for June in Montenegro

Coastal Areas

In June, the Montenegrin coast is warm and sunny, perfect for summer clothing.

Pack lightweight and breathable clothing such as t-shirts, shorts, and dresses to stay comfortable during the day.

Although the sea is still a little cool, I recommend bringing your swimwear for the beach and water activities like boat trips. You’ll also need sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen.

A pair of comfortable sandals or flip-flops is ideal for the beach. You’ll also need walking shoes if you plan to do some sightseeing.

Evenings are usually cool, so I always carry a light sweater or jacket when I go out. Likewise, it’s good to pack a dressy outfit for the evenings.

Packing List:

Short-sleeved tops
Shorts and skirts or dresses
Swimwear
Comfortable sandals
Walking shoes
Light sweater or jacket for evenings
Dressy outfit for evenings
Sunglasses
Hat
Sunscreen
Chill Pal - this towel is amazing for sightseeing here in summer. Just wet it and it will stay cold and keep you cool for hours!
Beach towels - Most accommodations in Montenegro don’t provide beach towels, so pack these too.

There are virtually no laundromats in Montenegro, so if you don’t have a washing machine in your accommodation, it can be difficult to wash your beach towels.

To get around this I love these microfiber beach towels, which are lightweight, quick drying and you can easily wash them in your shower if needed.
Plug converter - We have this power strip converter this power strip converter for our North American guests. I love that can handle several devices at once. It’s ideal for families bringing multiple devices!
Travel insurance - this is a must when traveling to Montenegro. Not only will it cover things like lost luggage and flight delays, but more importantly, any medical issues that you might have.

Montenegro’s public health system is rather poor, so I always recommend going private if you have any issues while you’re here and travel insurance will cover that.

Having medical evacuation cover is essential in Montenegro because if you have any serious issues you may need to be transported to another country.

I like Safety Wing’s Nomad Insurance (you can buy it just for a trip) because it’s the best value and most comprehensive cover I’ve found so far.

What Not to Pack:

Hair straightener/curling irons - In Europe, the voltage is 220, while in the US and Canada, it’s 110.

Most electronic devices such as cell phones, laptops, and electric shavers are dual voltage by default, so you can use them with a simple plug converter.

Unfortunately, hair straighteners and curlers use very high wattage and do not usually come with a dual-voltage setting, which means they won’t work in Europe.

Or rather, you’ll fry your appliance and short-circuit your hotel room!

If you can’t use your own hair appliances, your best option is to bring a dual-wattage straightener that will work in Europe and North America.

Inland Regions

In June, Montenegro's inland regions offer warm days and cool nights. The weather is still changeable here, so dressing in layers will help you comfortably adjust throughout the day.

I recommend lightweight, breathable clothing that allows you to move comfortably because this is a rugged region. You’ll also need a sweater and jacket for the evenings.

You’ll need sturdy walking shoes for hiking or walking on uneven terrain, especially if you plan to visit places like the Black Lake or do any hiking tours.

If you're planning outdoor adventures like via ferrata (which I loved!) or rafting, it’s a good idea to pack a hat and sunglasses because you could be in the sun for several hours.

Whatever the weather forecast, I always carry a jacket here because cold weather can set in quickly and unexpectedly.

Packing List:

Lightweight, breathable layers
T-shirts
Shorts
Sweater and jacket for evenings
Jeans or trousers
Sturdy walking shoes
Hat and sunglasses
Sunscreen
Light raincoat
