Climate in Ljubljana
Full Ljubljana forecastLjubljana is the largest city in Slovenia; its cloud cover, humidity, wind and sunshine are typical of the surrounding region.
Clouds and sunshine
How often the daytime sky is clear, partly cloudy or overcast through the year.
In Ljubljana, the average share of the sky covered by clouds shows significant seasonal variation over the course of the year.
The clearer part of the year begins around May 5 and lasts for 4.7 months, ending around September 25. The clearest month is July, when the sky is clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy 65% of the time on average.
The cloudier part of the year begins around September 26 and lasts for 7.3 months, ending around May 4. The cloudiest month is November, when it is overcast or mostly cloudy 73% of the time.
Humidity comfort
Share of days at each humidity comfort level, based on the dew point — the measure that tracks how muggy it actually feels.
Wind
Average wind speed through the year, banded into plain-language speed zones so a number reads as 'breezy' or 'calm' without knowing the scale.
This is the average sustained wind speed at the standard 10 metres above open ground — the steady flow a weather station reports, not the sharper gusts that come and go, which can run half again as fast. It's the number that says whether a place is generally breezy or calm.
Wind in Ljubljana is steady company: average speeds sit near 7 km/h — calm — in every month of the year, with no meaningful windy or calm season.

Best time to visit Slovenia
A 0–10 score combining daytime comfort, chance of rain and cloud cover — the sweet spot runs mid May to late September.
Solar energy
Average daily shortwave solar energy reaching the ground, banded into brightness zones so the number means something at a glance.
Solar energy is how much sunlight actually reaches the ground each day, measured in kilowatt-hours per square metre (kWh/m²) — the combined effect of how long the sun is up, how high it climbs, and how much cloud gets in the way. It's the raw fuel a solar panel has to work with: for scale, 1 kWh/m² a day is dim and wintry, while 7+ is desert-bright.
Ljubljana receives about 3.5 kWh/m² a day of solar energy on average — moderate — with a clear seasonal swing between 1.0 and 6.0 kWh/m².
The brighter stretch of the year lasts 6.0 months, from around Mar 19 to Sep 16. The brightest month is July, averaging about 5.9 kWh/m² (bright).
The dimmest month is December, down near 1.0 kWh/m² — roughly 82% less than the July peak.
