Bled weather by month

When to go to Bled

For beach weather, look at months where the daytime average clears 25°C and rainy days stay low: none reach a 25°C average here, so Bled suits city breaks and walking more than beach holidays; the warmest is July. November is the wettest month (167 mm, about 12 rainy days) and January the driest (76 mm).

Getting there

A direct flight from London Gatwick to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU, 31 km from Bled) takes roughly 2 h 12 min - short-haul (up to 4.5 h) by UK standards. Time-zone: Europe/Ljubljana.

Records and extremes, 1991-2020

The hottest day recorded in Bled between 1991 and 2020 reached 34.9°C on 27 June 2019; the coldest fell to -21.8°C on 20 December 2009. In July one day in ten tops 28.5°C and about 5% of days pass 30°C; in January one night in ten drops to -9.0°C or below. The wettest single month of the period was November 2000 with 459 mm, against a November average of 167 mm.

Spring: warmer days, but keep the waterproofs

March is still chilly, with daytime averages of 10°C and nights around 1°C, so a warm jacket matters more than light holiday clothing. April reaches 14°C by day, making time outdoors more comfortable, but its 15 rainy days are a clear catch. May is the better spring choice if warmth matters: afternoons average 19°C and nights 10°C. Rain remains frequent, though, so the improvement is mainly in temperature rather than reliability. Pack layers you can remove as the day warms up, plus a waterproof outer layer. Keep outdoor plans flexible rather than relying on a dry afternoon.

Summer: the strongest choice for warmth and sunshine

June, July and August offer Bled's most comfortable balance for a holiday centred on being outdoors. June averages 22°C by day and 14°C at night, so an evening layer still earns its place. July and August both average 24°C by day and 16°C at night: warm enough for lighter clothing, without average daytime heat being especially high. July has the most sunshine, averaging 7 hours daily, while August has fewer rainy days at 14. Neither is reliably dry. Choose July for sunshine or August for the slightly lower frequency of rain, and carry a light waterproof whichever you pick.

Autumn and winter: a mild start, then cold evenings

September is the strongest autumn option, with days around 20°C and nights at 12°C. It suits travellers who want mild outdoor weather rather than summer warmth, though sunshine drops to 4 hours daily. October cools to 15°C by day, while November averages 9°C and is the wettest month, making late autumn less appealing for weather-led trips. Winter needs a different packing approach: December days average 5°C, January 4°C and February 6°C, with nights below freezing throughout. Bring a warm coat, gloves and footwear suited to wet conditions. January is the driest month, but that does not make it the most comfortable outdoors; cold evenings and limited sunshine are the main trade-offs.
