Is that 4/5 degrees celsius or Fahrenheit? Because to me 5 Celsius is pleasant walking weather where as 4 degrees Fahrenheit is cold.Good morning,
know today how the weather will be in April May 2019 is really a sorcerer of the magic shovel)).
Experts (how much they really are?) say that it will be a spring very similar to the one just passed .... so periods of rain and sun not particularly prolonged.
Having made the journey in April / May 2018 I suggest you to have with you the equipment and clothing for every weather condition: 22 days of walking I met 5/6 days of continuous rain, 7/8 of overcast skies with light rain, the remaining clear sky. I also had the chance to face a significant drop in temperature from Pontferrada to Santiago (I speak of 4/5 degrees in the morning at 6.00 / 6.30).
On rainy days it was very difficult to dry some clothes and shower towels, in time: the dryers in the albergues were taken by assault (queues up to 22.00 in the evening).
I put everything in the backpack and the next day I stopped earlier than expected so as to have time to dry the clothes.
I hope I was helpful.
ciao
Celsius - I agree, as long as you have the right clothes the walking is nice at that temperatureIs that 4/5 degrees celsius or Fahrenheit? Because to me 5 Celsius is pleasant walking weather where as 4 degrees Fahrenheit is cold.

I walked April this year. 40 days of t shirt with about 15minutes of rain.. people two days behind me got drenched repeatedly.. regardless of forecasts/percentages I guess you need to accept it could go either way and prepare accordingly..
Weatherspark is my favorite, too.Weatherspark.com will give you historic highs, lows, median temperatures, average precipitation, and so on, for any decent-sized town (such as Burgos or Leon), either by month or day. Very good for planning and it's free.
Normally this is probably the best time to do caminos as it is not too hot, however there still could be snow on the higher parts,I have always walked towards the end of April, and have never encountered bad weatherHmm.......I put "weather + April" into the search box and ended up here......While I found the thread very interesting it does not really answer my question. If someone could give me an indication of what the weather on the Camino Frances is like in April and May it would be much appreciated.
Walked in April May June 2017 42 days blessed with the weather only 3 days wet and no blisters. This year there were floods so next year who knows? Take it as it comes pasa a pasaHmm.......I put "weather + April" into the search box and ended up here......While I found the thread very interesting it does not really answer my question. If someone could give me an indication of what the weather on the Camino Frances is like in April and May it would be much appreciated.
We must think alike Lindsay as that was going to be my question! I am also walking the Camino Frances mid April. Good to get a sense of what to expect and about the cold temperatures. A lot of packing lists i had read were more geared towards the warmer weather and i too wanted to get a sense of what temperatures we are talking about. I'd figured layers were the way forward but didn't want to come with too little due to keeping the weight down and finding myself cold....I hate being cold! Thanks everyone for your answers.
