Weather: Seville Has the Best Climate of Spain!

Seville's weather is awesome, sunny days are waiting for you

In terms of weather, Seville enjoys an amazing climate. Spring and fall are the best time of the year to spend your holidays in Spain because you'll find extremely sunny days and great temperatures.

The city has the inland climate of the South, so Seville's weather varies somewhat depending on the season. As a consequence, you will face very high temperatures during the summer (especially in July and August) that will usually be compensated by a mild fall and a rainy winter.

If you want to visit Spain, you should take a look at the weather forecast for Seville.

Spring is great for a Seville holiday!

Regarding the weather, Seville offers you an absolutely wonderful spring. The streets have the scent of the orange blossom (azahar) and you will see the trees flourishing. With maximum temperatures between 25°C and 30°C (77°F and 86°F), it is the best time to discover the city and walk around its romantic alleys.

Rainfall is rare during this season. You'll discover that the sky of Seville has a gorgeous blue that you'll not find anywhere else. It is so intense that the only place where I've noticed something similar has been Rome (Italy).

When the summer arrives bringing a warmer weather, Seville becomes hotter and the temperatures rise slowly from mild to very high.

Seville vacation: going in the summer

Similar to the rest of Andalucia, Seville's weather makes extremely hot and fairly dry summers (months may pass before you see a raindrop). Temperatures can be higher than 40°C (104°F), sometimes reaching 45°C (113°F) or more...

Some adventurous visitors ignore the warning and decide to travel here in July or August. If you decide to do so, you will find a deserted place. "Awesome! I'll get rid of a zillion other tourists" you might think.

True BUT (there is always one) because of the heat Seville can be unbearable. So much so that on weekdays shops close at 2pm and open again at 7pm, closing again at 10pm or even 11pm.

Prepare in advance your trip to Seville and find out how to keep cool during a boiling summer. Trust me it can get really HOT over here!

Fall in Seville is so romantic...

Fall is my favorite season because of its weather. Seville is always generous, offering the perfect climate. I'm particularly happy when I notice that my friends up north are starting to worry about the cold and I'm still wearing a t-shirt...

You can be in the a park or outside a bar, sitting in what we call a terraza (tables outside on the sidewalks) enjoying a drink. Just think about it. Where else will you find this in October?

Seville in winter is not cold

Nevertheless, winters are more humid than you would have imagined. On a windy day you will feel the effect of the Guadalquivir (Seville's river) and the cold can get into your bones. The good thing is that temperatures remain mild (never less than 10°C or 50°F).

Are you getting cold feet because you booked a flight during winter? Don't worry about the weather! Seville has a lot to offer during this time of the year as well. On a sunny day, you will even be able to discover it riding a bike.

When is the best time to go?

The best time to go to Seville is either spring (March to June) or fall (September and October) when days are longer and temperatures are not insanely high.

Remember that from the last weekend of March till late October, the summer daylight saving time is applied. Hence, the time is shifted forward by one hour and 2 hours ahead of Universal Time Coordinated (UTC+2) also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+2). In June, you can watch the sunset as late as 9pm... which is pretty cool!

If you decide to go in spring, bear in mind the changing dates of the Feria de Abril and the Semana Santa. Seville can get really busy then -crowded in fact. It's the peak season so hotels are packed, it's literally impossible to get into a bar and prices soar.

During early fall, the light is absolutely perfect. After the summer break when everyone escapes to the beach, Seville comes back to life little by little. People return to the street as temperatures drop slowly, taking advantage of the last sunny days before the rain starts again.

No matter what season it is or the weather at the time, Seville has the perfect climate for you. With more than six months of mild temperatures and sunny days, the city is an attractive destination for your next holidays in Spain.
