July Weather for Camino Frances Walkers

[Yoen]

Hi there, we are planning to walk the camino from the last 100km Frances route (Sarria), not sure July will be too hot to walk. Anyone has had experience to share please, thank you. Yoen

When I've been on the Camino in July and August in Galicia there has been a wide range of temperatures and weather types. From plus 30 degrees in August 2018 to very cold and wet low teen temperatures. Best to plan for all eventualities and take something warm, waterproof and lots of sunscreen with a hat. Buen Camino.

Warm to hot, slightly chance of rain.
I walked in July 2019 and had temperatures up to 38°C and two days of rain (behind Grañon) and on the day of arrival in SdC (pouring down).

For me it was bearable, but I don't sweat a lot.
