The summer is well and truly sweltering in Dubrovnik this year. Over the past ten days the city has seen constant temperatures in the mid thirties and spotting a cloud in the sky has proved impossible.

Today the midday temperature in Dubrovnik reached a mercury-breaking 36 degrees and if you were looking to cool off in the Adriatic Sea think again.

The temperature of the Adriatic Sea in Dubrovnik reached an incredible 26.5 degrees! In other words the sea in Dubrovnik was warmer than the air temperature in London (21 degrees), Paris (21 degrees), Vienna (28 degrees) and Kyiv (26 degrees).
