For definitive factual data about temperatures in the last several years, try the Camino Weather website. You can plug in your dates and start/end points and it will spit out what the temps were during that time in previous years, as well as if there was any precipitation. It will even average those for you!

Great website, any idea which is behind it?

No idea who's behind it, but on the main page of Camino Weather there is a "leave feedback" option where you can contact the website owner if you want to know more.

Hi Tony, welcome to this forum.

It ‘can be’ very hot in September in Andalucía and Extremadura regións. Not every year is the same and I wish you well.
As you progress north along the Vdlp., and into later October you will more than likely experience some chilly nights and mornings too. You will walk through some elevated regions and especially along the Sanabrés .
Galicia is reknowned for rain. In October 2023 , the heavens opened.
So just be prepared for anything.

There are lots of threads you could read through on this forum to get an idea of previous years weather . Are you starting in Sevilla ?

A link to a similar question about weather in September on Vdlp., to read through.

Thanks for the reply. I plan on starting in Sevilla. I have no set schedule . But I'm concerned about the heat, could change my start date to October .

That might be a wise move. I left Sevilla in October in a mini-heatwave and had several consecutive days touching 35C+. Chances of that are much higher in September. Not much water or shade on many stages of the VdlP. Far less opportunity to just bail out and hide in an air conditioned bar than on some other routes!

Hello fellow pilgrims! I was on this forum and all prepared to walk the Camino in 2020. Well, you know what happened. Now, 4 years later I am signed up to come on a pilgrimage in September. So, 4 years older, not in as good a shape as before but hope to improve on that in the coming months. Have given away some of the supplies I had ready back then so will have to see what I might need to replace.
