Traveller notes on Budva in September
Notes from nearby Dubrovnik (71 km away)
Budva doesn't have its own notes for September yet — these are about Dubrovnik, close enough to share the season.
September is the answer here. The sea is at its warmest of the whole year, the cruise ships thin out after the first week, and the city walls at 26°C are survivable. In August that same walk is a genuine health hazard.
Other months in Budva
Budva's forum calls July hot and sunny, daily highs over 30°C with nights staying around 20°C or a little above, and rainy or cloudy days genuinely rare. Regulars note the odd thunderstorm can turn up but typically passes within half an hour, usually as a short, intense downpour — the coast is also genuinely crowded by July, with some suggesting Montenegro's mountainous north as a cooler, quieter alternative.
