As a coastal city on the Mediterranean, Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate. This means that the climate is balanced and mild.
In the summer months, the Azores high ensures warm weather and in the peak summer months of July and August, sometimes hot and dry weather. Extreme summer heat is comparatively rare. The average summer temperatures are around 28°C.
The city itself is protected from cold winds that often blow from the Pyrenees over Catalonia by the Conserolla Mountains in winter. So even in winter temperatures below 0 degrees are rarely to be expected in Barcelona.
In winter, when the Azores high moves south, westerly winds with a little more rain prevail in the Mediterranean climate. The winter daytime temperatures are on average around 13°C.
Here is the current weather and the forecast for the next seven days: cloud cover, chance of rain, day/night temperature and wind speed.

In spring it quickly becomes pleasantly warm, autumn is very mild, and the temperatures are still pleasant, especially for guests from the north, even for sitting outside.
The water has pleasant temperatures for swimming from July to the end of September. In June it is OK, although the water is still a bit cooler.
The climate refers to the long-term weather behavior in a region over a period of at least 30 years. The weather, on the other hand, describes the short-term atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, precipitation and wind, that prevail in a particular place right now.
Barcelona has a temperate Mediterranean climate: warm in summer, sometimes hot, and rarely very cold days in winter. Many outdoor activities are possible. People who are used to a cooler climate in particular often enjoy the pleasant weather, so they can sit outside in the cafes in autumn and winter.
A whole lot! Even though rain is rare, it's good to know that you can still experience a lot in Barcelona even when the weather is "bad". We particularly enjoy visiting exciting museums or the numerous historical buildings - or just making ourselves comfortable when going out.
Our tip: It can rain in Barcelona in the winter months, and sometimes the showers are heavy and long-lasting. It's worth packing waterproof clothing. However, umbrellas are offered by street vendors as soon as the first raindrops start to fall.
However, longer periods of bad weather are rare.
