The hottest day recorded in Camp de Mar between 1991 and 2020 reached 37.4°C on 1 August 2017; the coldest fell to 3.4°C on 4 February 2012. In August one day in ten tops 30.7°C and about 19% of days pass 30°C; in February one night in ten drops to 7.4°C or below. The wettest single month of the period was November 2001 with 183 mm, against a November average of 57 mm.

Winter into spring: mild afternoons, cool water

January and February both average 14°C by day, making winter better suited to getting outdoors in layers than sitting in swimwear. February nights average 10°C, so bring something warm for evenings rather than relying on a light summer wardrobe. March reaches 16°C and has fewer rain days than winter, but the sea remains cool. April's 18°C daytime average makes outdoor plans more appealing, although a shower is still possible. May offers the clearest step towards summer: afternoons average 21°C, with plenty of scope for spending time outside without peak summer heat. The catch is the water, averaging 18°C in May, so travellers who want relaxed, lingering swims may prefer to wait until summer.

Summer: the best fit for a beach holiday

June combines warm afternoons with relatively little rain, making it a good choice if you want summer weather without the highest temperatures. The sea averages 22°C, a more inviting prospect than in spring. July brings daytime averages of 28°C and just 1 rain day, so it is the strongest option for keeping outdoor plans simple. August is hotter, and its 27°C sea will appeal if warm water matters most. The trade-off is less relief after sunset: nights average 24°C in August. Pack light clothing, plan shade breaks around midday and favour mornings or later afternoons for anything active. These averages favour beach time, but do not guarantee an entirely dry stay.

Autumn into December: swimming warmth fades gradually

September keeps much of summer's warmth, with afternoons averaging 26°C and the sea at 25°C. It suits travellers who value warm swimming water more than the driest possible weather, as rain becomes more frequent. October remains mild at 22°C by day, with the sea also averaging 22°C, but its 7 rain days make flexible plans sensible. November shifts the balance away from a beach-focused holiday: daytime temperatures average 18°C and it is the wettest month. December cools further to 15°C, with nights at 12°C. Bring layers and a waterproof for late autumn and winter, and treat sunny outdoor time as an opportunity rather than the basis of every day's plans.
