When to go Barcelona ?
Barcelona can be visited all year round. Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) bring pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds. Early summer (June-July) is the season for major music festivals. In hot, humid August, the city is deserted and many businesses are closed. In the off-season (November-March), temperatures remain mild, making it ideal for exploring the city.
Protected from the winds by the Spanish Pyrenees, Barcelona enjoys a Mediterranean climate with sub-Mediterranean influences. Winters are dry. However, Barcelona's weather is subject to the risk of thunderstorms and storms from May to November and especially from August onwards. The driest months are July and February. In summer the temperature rises above 28°C (average 24°C). In winter, it remains above 4°C (average 10°C). The sea breeze reduces the summer heat.
