Given Barcelona’s
location on the Mediterranean seaboard, the city enjoys a
temperate climate with very pleasant temperatures all year
round. Summers are usually fairly warm and muggy, even sometimes
reaching temperatures of 35°C during
the hottest months, although the normal temperature stays
around 29ºC. Lying on the shores of the Mediterranean,
Barcelona is guaranteed fresh sea breezes to help cool off. During
early summer and early autumn stormy and heavy downpours are
fairly common. But generally, Barcelona is a sunny place and
light clothing should be fine. Just be prepared for sudden
showers as well as cooler evenings.
January is the coldest month of the year and
although winters in Barcelona are generally fairly mild it
is still a good idea to use warm and rainproof clothing.
Barcelona is best to visit during the
months of March through to June and during September and October.
This way, you avoid the discomfort of traveling in summer
heat or during the cooler winter months.
