Weather is unpredictable

[FourSeasons]

We all know how unpredictable the weather can be on the Camino, especially on the Norte. So, I am seeking your experiences to the amount of rain fall in July and August on the Norte. I'm hoping I won't need rain pants and can get away with a lightweight poncho. Thoughts and stories welcome. Thanks

I'm not familiar with the weather there but you could pack a heavy plastic trash bag and if you are caught in a heavy rain cut the short seam and wear the bag as a skirt.

Its so hot that time of year, I would just choose to get my legs wet, they dry quickly - and one less thing to carry

Looking at historical data, July and August should be pretty dry. However, I experienced a lot of rain this last July and August on the Norte. But I was never cold, so I would agree that bare legs and a poncho is the way to go.

Thanks but I might as well take a lightweight poncho LOL

If you use the Chrome browser you can set it to automatically translate to English. (or maybe that's the default, I don't remember)
