I’ve been planning to just bring a liner instead of a sleeping bag for my Camino Frances, which I’m starting in August 11, so I’ve been planning for very hot weather, (up to 40 degrees C by some accounts) rendering a sleeping bag unnecessary, or so I’ve heard… …but then, It might take me well...

Hello everyone, I'm about to do my first Camino from STPDP in April. What is the weather like in April during the whole way to Compostela? How cold are the mornings? Is it jacket 🧥 or tshirt during the day? I'm considering to either start the 2nd of April or if the weather is to cold, to start...

I am hoping to start my chemin in Le Puy April 2024 to avoid the "crowds." I am trying to look up historical monthly data on the weather for April. I know it'll be cold. I am more concerned about snowfall due to the high elevation. Please direct me to websites (weather or travels) with this...

Much has been spoken in Camino forums about how and what to pack for rain on the Camino. But I don’t see much sharing on protecting oneself against lightning. What do pilgrims do when they chance into an electrical storm with bolts of lightning crashing to the ground, especially when they’re...

Hello! I am planning to start walking from Le Puy en Velay in mid/ late October with my partner. We're getting very excited! We normally camp when walking but we aren't able to walk until the autumn due to work. Does anyone have any advice on taking camping gear on this route, particularly at...

Hello, I’m in freezing New Zealand preparing to start my first Camino mid-August and there are a lot of stories about the heatwave, and temperatures of up to 60 degrees c in Spain! I realise August is not the ideal time to be starting but it’s the only time I can be there. Please can anyone...

Hi, I plan to start this Sunday the Camino Aragones, but will start already in Oloron. Has anyone passed the section between Oloron and Somport in the last days and could give an update on the state of the route? Meteoblue has warnings for avalanches in the Oloron area, not sure if this section...

October weather C. del Norte and C. francés I had planned to do the Camino del Norte at the beginning of last June (2022). For various reasons I had to postpone my departure until early September. At that point a family problem forced me to put off my departure until later in the month, when...

Hello fellow pilgrims, I’ve just arrived in SJPP and my plan was to set off for Roncesvalles tomorrow morning via the Napoleon route, potentially stopping at Orisson for the night. However, the people at the pilgrim office have told me it is too dangerous to do the napoleon route until...

Hi everyone, I‘ve generated a webpage with the weather forecast by each Camino (and its main cities in each stage) for the next five days updated every 2h. The first test is with full Camino Primitivo (my next one) starting in Oviedo and ending in Fisterra. Here is the original thread. Let me...

Generally speaking, would you say the Vezelay route is cooler than the Le Puy route during summer? Having just completed the Primitivo (fantastic!) and to Muxia and Finisterre, I'm thinking of a much longer route next year, starting in Vezelay or Le Puy, going to SJPP, up to Irun, and the Camino...

I´ve been tracking the weather and the heat wave that is passing through Spain right now will pass onto the north next week. I´m seeing upto 38 degrees around Pamplona. This can be very dangerous. Please all make sure to stay cool, drink plenty of water and rest in the shade. I´ll probably...
