Island
of Hvar and also whole area of Middle Dalmatia
are characterised by a very favourable climate.
The temperature in January lies on an isotherm
of 7 oC and 8 oC, in an area with a distinctive
Mediterranean climate; a mild, mostly moist winter
and a dry, hot and sunny summer. |

This
area is one of the sunniest parts
of the central and northern Mediterranean, characterised
by an extremely bright sky, the mild Mediterranean
Sun shining almost three thousand hours per
year, with a high daily average of 7,3 sunny
hours per day. In the summer, it rises even
to an average of 11,3 hours, 7,4 hours in the
spring, 6,3 hours in the autumn, and 4,2 hours
in the winter. This high rate of sunny weather
has an influence on the relatively high yearly
and daily temperature of the air. A medium January
approximate of 7,8 oC makes this area the warmest
part on the Mediterranean northern coast. On
island Hvar the temperature very occasionally
drops below 0oC; on the other hand, more than
a hundred days have a temperature of more than
25oC, and more than fifty days above 30 oC. |

This
favourable climate and the flow of warm sea currents
have an influence on the high temperature of the
sea, with a summer average of 22,6o C, that is,
an average yearly approximate of 17,5 oC. |

The
local and periodical (seasonal) winds
also help to maintain a favourable climate.
Among them, the most distinct are the local
winds "jugo" (south-east wind) and
the "bura" (north-east wind), which
show up during the entire year, but especially
well marked during the winter, when their bioclimatic
activity is at its peak. In the early spring
and summer, the most characteristic wind is
the Maestral, which has important thermoregulation
activity, because as it is a sea wind, it brings
a favourable coolness. The Maestral is replaced
by the night breeze from the north (burin),
which cools the overheated dry land. Also in
summer blow some other winds: tramontana (northwest),
levant (eastern) and lebić (western), but they
are less frequent. |

Rainfall
on this area also has Mediterranean characteristics.
The wettest mounts are November and December and
driest July and August. It amounts to only 809
mm yearly, but it is favourably dispersed, so
that the spring and especially the summer is mostly
dry, while moderate rains fall in autumn and winter
season. Snow is an exceptionally rare phenomenon.. |
