The weather

The months of June, July, August and September are the hottest and driest. Daytime temperatures are usually over 30 degrees centigrade. In inland areas and in the south, temperatures may be over 20 degrees at night. The north has a milder climate with cooler temperatures and some rainfall in regions such as Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria.The essential thing to pack for summer in Spain is swimwear for enjoying the beach. We recommend wearing light-coloured clothing. White clothing is also a prominent part of Ibiza fashion. These garments are flattering and comfortable in thin, floaty fabrics, such as linen and cotton. For footwear, sandals or flip flops are usually worn. Sleeveless styles and shorts are also common. 

These are the coldest months. Even though Spain is not a rainy country, we recommend that you carry an umbrella. In the north, rainfall is frequent during these months. Across the rest of the country, there may be several rainy days. A rain jacket may be a good idea.We recommend that you pack warm clothing and accessories, such as a scarf and gloves. Across most of the country, waterproof boots are not really necessary, and comfortable footwear tends to be recommended, perhaps boots, and thicker socks. Garments made of warm fabrics like wool, flannel and fleece, thermal underwear, tights and winter coats are required, especially in rural environments. If you go to the Canary Islands, winter is very different and you won’t need more than a light jacket.
