Okay... Finally getting to the final stages of planning for my first Camino 😎🌞
However, I wonder a little about the weather, so hoping someone has some experience to share. I would prefer some 15-20C at night and 20-25C at Day. Preferebly mostly dry. Would you guys lean more towards may/June or end August/september?
Thanks 😊

If you plan the CF, August / September will, almost certainly, be hotter. And for what refers to May / June, temperatures could be around what you have indicated (or a little hotter).

If you plan to take a camino in the north, probably August / September will be around what you indicated.

I’m a harvest time advocate.

So I vote August/September.

Temps during day may be hotter than you wish.

Buen camino.
Thanks for your input, nycwalking! I have a feeling that the later season will have a more "crisp" air, than the presummer... But not sure if that applies to the region on Northern Spain 🤣 Also, I guess the later you go in September, the cooler it gets, at least on average...

Thanks @Lirsy I am planning for the CF. :)

Late September and into October would be closer to your desired temperature range.

I walked in August/September. Only a few days with light rain, mostly sunny and temps. generally 25-28 during the day; cool, crisp mornings and cool evenings. Perfect for me.

Ha' en god tur 🙂
