Night temperature?

[Kim77]

Hi! Walked Camino Frances last summer and had an amazing night camping outside. Didn´t have a proper sleeping bag though. Are walking the Northern/Primitivo route this summer, june-july, and want to sleep outside again, and will buy a sleeping bag. Can´t find much information about the night temperature in northern Spain. Any one know where to look for that?

Best, Kim

One suggestion would be to look at the tourist information site for some of the cities along your route, i.e. Santander, etc. They will have historic weather data regarding highs, lows and rainfall.

Thanks! Of course! I´ll do that!

Another would be to send a PM to @angulero . He has an interest in the weather and posts here in Spanish with a translation. You might need to send and translate into Spanish, but it is worth trying to make contact with him IMO.

Its very dependent on you're altitude, as a guide if i remember rightly you lose about a degree centigrade for every 100m of elevation. Much of the Primitivo is quite high so will probably be quite chilly at night even in June/July

Great! I´ll probably buy a sleepingbag I also can use in north of Sweden during summer, seems like summer temperature in the north of Sweden and Primitivo are about the same.
