National Park ''Kozara''
has a specific climate compared to other mountains in Bosnia. Such climate is the result of geographical position,
relief, geological structure, height above sea level, latitude, plant
cover and other factors. Kozara
is placed between Pannonic depression in North and Prijedor ravine and
high Dinaric mountains in South.
climate
In
the valleys of the rivers Una and Vrbas there are cold airstreams from
north and warm from south. Therefore this area has moderate-continental
climate with a certain impact of Mediterranean and Pannonic climate;
and on a smaller part, which falls to higher zone, there is a slight
impact of Alps climate.
Average annual precipitations are around 900 mm in the north,
to 1400 mm in the south.
More
than half of this rainfall occurs in a vegetation period.
Snow
blanket will last depending on height above sea level: above 500 m it
will last for more than 40 days, and below 500 m less than 30 days.
According to weather forecast, average air temperature in July
is 21,10 C. The warm period, which can be considered as
vegetation period, lasts from May to around the middle of October.
