Serbia experiences significant climatic differences throughout its land mass that are largely modified by each area’s elevation, proximity to the sea, and exposure to wind. As a general rule though, Serbia weather is mainly continental characterized by cold, relatively dry winters and warm, humid summers.

These marked characteristics of the continental climate are more pronounced around the Vojvodina area, with July temperatures averaging about 71 °F (22 °C), and January temperatures hovering around 30 °F (−1 °C).

The mountain regions of the country experience significantly cooler conditions, averaging about 64 °F (18 °C). Although on the odd occasion Mediterranean air masses manage to squeeze their way to Serbia, it’s the air masses from eastern and northern Europe that predominate throughout the year.

Although the country’s precipitation varies according to elevation and exposure, as a whole Serbia receives between 22 to 75 inches (560 to 1,900 mm) per year. Vojvodina is by far the driest area of Serbia. The bulk of precipitation occurs occurring in late spring and late autumn and in the mountainous regions it tends to fall as snow. The northern lowlands experience around 40 days of snow per year and the mountains around 120.
