Weather Information along the Camino

[Mike_Vander]

Is there a central location where I can access weather data along the camino route? Does Spain have an agency like the National Weather Service or National Public Radio that I can get weather data on AM or Short wave? I would not like to run into some bad weather in the higher elevations without some weather data. I will not be bringing my snowshoes with me!

Thanks,

Mike

Hi - others will answer about any government provided services but take a look at the resources on Grant's website:

Of course, you can visit http://www.inm.es to know the weather for the next seven days in most towns, even small ones.

Buen Camino,

I am planning to walk the Camino in October 09. Can anyone give me some idea of the weather I might expect in October?

Use the link in JohnnieWalker's above.

I looked at that but I was more interested in some anecdotal comments from people who have walked the camino in October.

It can depend on if it's raining or not. It can be cold on mountains. Yo can meet some snow or not at early november.

It's not easy to choose the right clothes on october.

Buen Camino,

I checked out the web sites some of you suggested and they were helpful, but again, anyone who has walked the Camino in October in the last couple of years and can give me some insight into how they found the daytime and nightime temperatures and rain fall would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

For iPhone or iPad users there are two great apps available from iTunes.
"Weather+" and "eWeather HD" both give forecasts up to a week ahead for any major town you select.
