great answer....especially the laundromat part...I take rain pants. They are good if it gets cold, windy, or wet, and can be worn while you are washing everything else at the laundromat!
Just to add to your agony of indecision, this thread has 49 more posts on the topic.The answer is the same for March on the Camino Portugués, or April on the Francés
That might sound good, but there are a few things that I carry, some of which I hope not to use at all. This includes my first aid kit, an emergency blanket, the lightest trowel I was able to find at the time and the end of a roll of toilet paper.I think the best on king advice is only bring things you will use everyday, no just in case items.
I bought the kilt ! It’s so small and light weight ! I may stillHi! Diane!
Have you considered a rain Kilt!
Mine is a ULA(ultra light adventure) weighs 70grms and goes in the leg pocket of my shorts;out and on in 20 seconds! (You could be standing in water or two inches of mud when you need it; much easier than trying to stand on one leg and put trousers on)
Worn it in all day heavy rain and stayed dry;comes down to about 4 inches below my knees.(i am 6ft 2inches tall)
I wear non waterproof Hokas and Sealskinz socks; which stood up well, but whatever you wear in heavy rain your feet get wet
I have worn it here in UK down to around 5C didn't suffer.
I also carry a hands free umbrella which helps keep you dry.

Thank you! Makes senseThat might sound good, but there are a few things that I carry, some of which I hope not to use at all. This includes my first aid kit, an emergency blanket, the lightest trowel I was able to find at the time and the end of a roll of toilet paper.
Moreover, one might expect about 10 days of rain or snow in Pamplona in April, slightly fewer in Logrono but increasing again around Burgos. May gets slightly better, but it is not until Jun that one can expect the longer term average days of rain to fall more significantly in most places. I think something that one might use about one day in three based on normal climatic conditions is going to get enough use to warrant carrying. I'll let others make up their own mind on that.
I brought a kilt on the Frances - I had lots of rain and never bothered to put it on! Still has never been used.I bought the kilt ! It’s so small and light weight ! I may still
Bring my rain pants but the kilt is so light I’m bring it to try out️

For me, if it is warm enough to wear shorts or a kilt, I'm not bothering with rain pants or a rain kilt. I'm just wearing light, quick-dry trousers. If my legs are wet during the rain, so be it. If it is cold enough that I am worried about that, I wouldn’t be in shorts or a kilt.Hi! Diane!

I always bring my Frogg Togg rain pants. I normally walk in April/May and although I don't need them very often, I am always thankful I have brought them for the occasional cold and rainy
