Getting Acclimatized

Weather station name: IBARCELO60

This station sits in the city of Barcelona, just a few blocks south of Camp Nou where FC Barcelona plays.
Barcelona's average temperature sits just below 65 degrees. During the summer months it can get into the 90s and in winter months down to the 50s. Not much precipitation falls in Barcelona, meaning even in the colder months, the sun still shines on a regular basis.


I spent some time in Barcelona during the early part of August. I found the weather to be warm and sometimes humid. Unlike more inland parts of the country, Barcelona maintained a steady warm temperature, never becoming too warm. Cities like Sevilla, which are located inland and are not near large bodies of water, become very hot during the summer.

I also noticed the weather in Barcelona seemed very similar to San Diego, CA.

Barcelona is located in the Northeast part of the country, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

As can be seen from the weather so far this year, Barcelona has experienced its highest temperatures in the month of August, topping out close to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Shortly into September, temperatures were seen dropping off and becoming cooler. Looking at the rain graph, mostly sunny days with a few periods of downfall up to almost 3 inches during the peak rainfall periods can be observed.
