Hi All, I will be walking from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela in May. I've walked the route previously but in September/October. Can someone tell me what kind of weather to expect in May, more or less?

This will be my fourth partial Camino walk, and my second along the Sarria-SdC section :)

Thanks!

April is usually the wet month, but often May, as well.
Having said that, it can also get VERY hot in the afternoons.
So you'd better take absolutely everything :)
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I leave April 30th,I have only planned to take a pair of running tights and a fleece for warmth, I intend to walk in shorts most of the time. I did my first trial walk on the weekend, it was cold at first but heated up in 15mins so took my tights off during my 4 hour walk with the dog around Virginia water, I better start praying for sunny warm days as I don't want to carry too much, my 45ltr pack is weighing 8.7k without food and water...
 
Thank everyone. I guess the poncho goes in the top pack pocket :)
