Weather? Good question!

Welcome and Greetings from Jerusalem! You ak two challenging questions, Weather, no politics, but it's a'changing. What was right and correct 5 years ago doesn;t work anymore. Last year doesn't work anymore. I have seen nice sunny weather 15 C at lunchtime and I have seen snow. Time and kilometerage: 25-30 a day is doable p-r-o-v-i-d-e-d there are no blisters, no sprained ankles, no blisters on under or around existing blisters, the crowded albergues are perfect hothouses for colds, flue, ague, and microbes, two or three days of "opening the windows of heaven and the fountains of the deep" will soak through even the most stalwart pilgrim, and should you meet a soul mate companion who walks slower than you, you fall in love with Astorga/Hospital del Orbigo/Santiago and stay over, you eat some funky pulpo or chorizo and are laid up with Boabdil's Revenge all can all work to shoot down an itinerary. My advice is the advice of Baden-Powell, "Be Prepared" meaning flexibility wins the day. Buen Camino
