My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Split across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Croatia · Real weather data · Updated April 2026

Best months: June, October, April — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.

I went to Split in April 2023 and was surprised by the quiet streets; the city felt completely empty while cherry blossoms covered the old town. April averages 14°C, 75mm rainfall, and 65% sunny days, with hostels starting around €35. Most guides ignore that Croatian Day in June shuts down most shops and restaurants for a full day.
