Montenegro: climate for accessible travel

The original task was to define the best coastal stay location in Montenegro for a trip with a heat-sensitive person. After checking what exactly "heat-sensitive" means, I made a hypothesis that in desired months (July or August) staying near the coast will not be comfortable (or even safe) at all. Here's how I checked that and what I advised to the client.

Climatic analysis

When it is actually comfortable to be outside?

I built an ERA5-Land pipeline computing temperature across coastal and inland Montenegro, to find the hours and the places where being outdoors is comfortable (no more than 25-26C as set by the client).

Accessibility mapping

Beaches that actually clear a flat-entry filter

Alongside the climate analysis, a systematic survey of the coastline: 31 beaches (accessibility check was done by a client) plotted on an interactive map, with candidate bases. View interactive →
