Climate and weather on Cres

The island has a "transitional Mediterranean" climate, with winters that can be somewhat cold and summers that are pleasant, tempered by the sea. However, it rains more or less year-round, though less in summer. Late spring and early autumn are good times to visit, as is summer (though it can be crowded and prices rise) for those who prioritize the beach.
