Weather is unpredictable

We all know how unpredictable the weather can be on the Camino, especially on the Norte. So, I am seeking your experiences to the amount of rain fall in July and August on the Norte. I'm hoping I won't need rain pants and can get away with a lightweight poncho. Thoughts and stories welcome. Thanks :)

New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
I'm not familiar with the weather there but you could pack a heavy plastic trash bag and if you are caught in a heavy rain cut the short seam and wear the bag as a skirt.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

Looking at historical data, July and August should be pretty dry. However, I experienced a lot of rain this last July and August on the Norte. But I was never cold, so I would agree that bare legs and a poncho is the way to go.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
