Kosovowhen to go
Kosovo's national averages run from 4 °C in January to 29 °C in July, with rainfall between 52 mm in August and 102 mm in November and 3.5–8.7 hours of sun a day. Against the default preferences (under 2.7 mm of rain a day, at least 6 hours of sun), the strongest months are July, August and June. Its 30 regions span 14–19 °C in annual mean temperature, so the national figure hides a good deal.
