Hello all,
Myself and a friend will be walking for a week or so from Burgos next month, starting on March 18.
I'm wondering what sort of weather we can expect, beyond the usual sound advice to expect anything?
I walked this route twice before, but those time were in May and July, so I'm guessing March will be different.
I've been keeping an eye on the weather forecast and temperatures for Burgos and Leon over the last few weeks, and it seems like the numbers haven't really being trending upwards yet. It looks like it's kinda cold over there.
Is that the norm for this time of year? Is it realistic to expect things to improve very much between here and the middle of March?
Whatever about temperatures, I'll probably be happy enough if we don't see much rain!

Check out www.wunderground.com.
It's a weather site and you can check the weather on various parts of the Camino from past years. Gives you a baseline on what to expect.
Check both SJPdP and Roncesvalles.I had looked at this previously, and was wondering what city best represents the historical weather for the route over the Pyrenees? What I really want to know is whether the temperature in mid-April has ever been below -10 degrees celsius.
I don't think either city is listed. At least I could never find them on that site. You can pull up a list of the cities covered by typing in the country, and SJPdP is not on the France list, nor is Roncesvalles on the Spain list. Am I missing something? Have you pulled up the weather for these places?Check both SJPdP and Roncesvalles.
You can check current weather in St. Jean and Orreaga (Roncesvalles) on weather.com .I don't think either city is listed. At least I could never find them on that site.

Yeah, I tried as well, but no luck. I could only find current weather.I don't think either city is listed. At least I could never find them on that site.

Having heard of the occasional snowy day in May walking from SJPdP to Roncesvalles, I would guess that there have been some days close to that in mid April, but to dip that low is probably a rarity for that time of year and I imagine the Napoleon route would be closed to travel if it did.I had looked at this previously, and was wondering what city best represents the historical weather for the route over the Pyrenees?
