Montenegro Kotor Weather in October — Climate Guide

Kotor in October — Full Picture
October in Kotor is a mild, good-value autumn month — warm enough for early-month swims, with crowds and prices well down from summer, but the bay's heavy autumn rain returns. It averages 21°C/13°C with markedly more rain than the dry summer.
Early October still feels like late summer: the bay holds around 22°C for a swim, café terraces are pleasant, and boat trips to Perast and Lovćen tours still run, though schedules begin tapering toward winter. By late October it turns cooler and notably wetter, and the season visibly winds down.
This is a relaxed month — fewer cruise crowds, easy konoba tables, and softer prices. It suits travelers who want pleasant sightseeing, the odd swim, and a calmer Old Town, rather than guaranteed dry beach weather.
Pack light layers, a sweater or light jacket for the evenings, and a proper waterproof and umbrella for the autumn rain. For a quieter, cheaper trip with a chance of swimming, early-to-mid October is the sweet spot.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Mild autumn — around 21°C/13°C, and wet as the bay's rainy season returns in force. Light layers, a sweater or light jacket for evenings, a waterproof, and an umbrella. The bay is cooling but swimmable early in the month (~22°C).
