Anyone on the Madrid Route? How's the weather?

How's the weather on the Madrid route?
I've checked via the internet, but that's not always spot on.

Rain?
Sun?
Wind?

What should I bring?
I'm leaving Thursday.

Buen camino, Annie, sorry I can't give you any info on this year's weather, though. Just wanted to say I hope you love this route and its many beautiful parts.

I walked in early May a few years ago and was glad I had my wool gloves, even though a lot of the days were warm. Lightweight fleece (of the 100 variety) is all I ever bring for warmth in May, and though I sometimes had to layer on my rain jacket, I was fine.

Are you planning a detour to see Valladolid?

I've walked today with my group from Navacerrada to Cercedilla. The weather was fantastic for walking (10 to 15ºC). sunny but a bit chilly and windy in the morning The field is now very green. The weather forecast is good for the next days
In Cercedilla I met an Italian pilgrim , who was looking for the albergue. He told me he had got to Cercedilla in only 2 stages: Madrid- Colmenar, Colmenar- Cercedilla. He must be in a good shape.

Have a good Camino, the wheater won't be a problem, unless in Castille (I don't know in Galicia).

Annie, keep a lookout for two French men, Etienne and Raymond. Both in their early 60s. They are setting out right around when you are. They are the two men I walked with last year for nearly the entire Camino de Levante. They plan to walk Camino de Madrid, Sahagún to León, then the Salvador and Primitivo. If you (or anyone else) meet them, give them a huge hug from me. I´m hoping to walk with them again next year. Buen camino, Laurie

Since we are stretched for time (have to pick up the group in Pamplona) and since Joe has seen Valladolid, I imagine we will not stop this time through.
But you never know… I change my mind daily depending on how I feel, the weather, and (fill in the blank)! lol! If we do, I have your notes!

And OOoooooooooo! I'm excited!
Today I checked the weather and it looks sunny and warm Friday through Sunday!
I hope that holds!
