When packing for Tivat, it is important to consider the peculiarities of the local climate to make your trip as comfortable as possible. The foundation of your wardrobe at any time of the year should be comfortable shoes for walking along the charming streets of the city and along the coast. The principle of layering in clothing is your best ally, especially in transitional seasons, as it allows you to easily adapt to temperature changes throughout the day. Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses – they will be useful not only in the hot summer but also in other seasons, as the sun in Montenegro is quite active.

If your trip to Tivat falls during the summer months (June-August), when the average temperature stays around 20-23°C and precipitation is minimal, your suitcase should be filled with light and breathable clothing. T-shirts, shorts, sundresses, skirts, and, of course, swimwear will be most appropriate. For evening walks or in case of a light chill, bring a thin sweater or cardigan. Headgear – a sun hat or cap – will protect you from the bright sun during daytime excursions.

For a trip to Tivat in the off-season (spring and autumn) and winter, be prepared for cooler and wetter weather. In spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), temperatures range from pleasantly moderate to noticeably cool (approximately from 7°C to 18°C), and the amount of precipitation increases. This is especially true for November (about 11 mm of precipitation) and May, which, despite a moderate amount of precipitation, can surprise with frequent, albeit not always heavy, rains (on average 18 days with precipitation). Therefore, a waterproof jacket or light raincoat, as well as an umbrella, will become your reliable companions. In winter (December-February), when average temperatures drop to 4-6°C, you cannot do without a warm jacket, sweaters, hat, scarf, and gloves. During these periods, layering clothes is especially relevant: t-shirts, jumpers, comfortable trousers or jeans will help you feel comfortable in any weather.
