About weather on the Camino de Santiago Francés

The Camino de Santiago Francés moves from Pyrenean heights through the dry central plateau to Galicia’s Atlantic fringe, so weather shifts noticeably along the way. April, May, and September tend to offer milder walking, with cooler mornings, mixed sunshine and showers, and generally open services. Patterns include spring’s quick changes with lingering wintry bursts on high ground, summer’s strong sun and heat on open plains, and autumn’s brighter spells alternating with passing fronts toward the west.

• Winter brings overcast stretches with frequent rain or drizzle, snow on higher crossings, sharp winds, and wetter conditions toward the west.
• Spring is changeable: bright breaks, light showers, occasional heavier bursts, fresh mornings, mild afternoons, and lingering wintry episodes on exposed high passes.
• Summer feels mostly dry and bright, with strong sun and heat on open plains, cooler changeable mountains, and brief stormy interruptions.
• Autumn alternates bright, mild spells with cloudy periods and passing showers, occasional heavier fronts, brisk ridgeline winds, and increasing dampness toward western sections.
