The quietest and busiest months

In 2025, November was Slovenia's quietest month (4.1% of the year's tourist nights): average high 9.6 °C, average low 3.9 °C, 138 mm of rain. August was the busiest (18.7%): average high 27.6 °C, average low 15.9 °C, 124 mm of rain. The figures do not show that the weather makes a month busier or quieter, so we do not say it does.

What these figures are

One weather station stands for Ljubljana; places nearby can differ, especially by height or distance from the sea. For the full picture of Slovenia, including regions and holidays, see our Slovenia page; for other places, the visual guides and golden hour by place.
