Thanks for your reply. I intend to walk from Leon to Santiago as I am limited on time.The weather is very unpredictable. You do not say which parts of the Camino Frances you intend to walk. An extreme example from April this year - taken from a webcam in O Cebreiro on April 24th. It is quite possible that you might find something similar in the higher sections of the route.

Thanks vet much Robo, appreciate your response. I figured it would be mixed weather.I have walked twice from St Jean starting in late April. 28th both times I think.
2015 I had hardly any rain at all and it was hot! Really hot by midway along the CF. Though snow. on the top of Pyrenees with bright sunshine. Warm...
2018 It was low cloud, rain and high winds crossing the Pyrenees.
Needed to keep moving to stay warm.
Cool and bits of rain most of the way. Not too hot.
Plan for. Sun, Rain, Wind, Possibly Snow on Day 1 and you'll be fine.
With temperatures from 0C on the Pyrenees to +30C further along the route.
That should cover most likely scenarios
The lesson? Be prepared, plan on layering clothing, and have good rain gear........
2015 I barely used my rain gear. 2018 used it 50% of the time. and needed my Sun Umbrella about 30% of the time. 2015 got sunburn, wished I had an Umbrella. Go figure...............
