Time of past OR future Camino
Walked Camino de France May 2016 and planning on walking Camino del Norte in March 2017
Will be starting Camino del Norte in mid March 2017. I know weather conditions change constantly but would like to know what I can expect.?
 
Join the Camino cleanup. Logroño to Burgos May 2025 & Astorga to OCebreiro in June
Using Bilbao as the average location, in March 2016 there was twenty days with rain, no days with a low below freezing, and typical high temperatures in the fifties fahrenheit.

I walked from Bidart to Bilbao in the last week of March.

Day 1 Bidart - Hondarriabia Mid seventies, Sunny, No Rain and I arrived in Irun sunburnt
Day2 Hondarriabia - San Sebastian Mid sixties, No rain, Sunny
Day3 San Sebastian - Getaria - Mid Sixties, No Rain Overcast
Day4 Getaria - Deba - Mid Sixties, Overcast, but No Rain
Day 5 Deba to the Monastery in Zenarruza - Mid Sixties Sunny and Clear with No Rain
Day 6 Zenarruza - Gernika - Mid fifties - Rained all day - Never Stopped - Even had a shower of hailstones as I arrived in Gernika.
Day7 Gernika - Bilbao - Mid fifties - Overcast - No rain


Moral of the story.... Be prepared for a bit of everything... But for the most part very comfortable walking weather
