Seville weather by month
May, June and September are the strongest choices for Seville, but they suit different tolerances for heat. May averages 26°C by day, compared with 32°C in June and 30°C in September, making it the gentler option for spending long stretches outdoors. Spring offers comfortable walking weather, while summer calls for a slower pace and breaks from the midday heat. Autumn stays warm well beyond summer; winter suits travellers who prefer mild afternoons and do not mind cool evenings or some rain.

Spring: warmth without the strongest heat
March is a sensible starting point for a walking-focused trip, with daytime averages of 20°C but nights down to 9°C. Pack layers rather than relying on light summer clothes throughout the day. April brings warmer afternoons at 22°C, though its 7 rain days mean a light waterproof still earns its place in your bag. May offers the clearest balance of warmth and comfort: days average 26°C, nights reach 15°C and sunshine averages 8 hours. It suits travellers who want plenty of time outdoors without organising the whole day around heat, although a shaded break at midday may still be welcome.
Summer: dry, sunny and demanding in the afternoon
June is a good choice if sunshine matters more to you than gentle temperatures. It averages 11 hours of sun and just 1 rain day, but daytime temperatures of 32°C already make early starts and indoor afternoon breaks sensible. July and August both average 35°C by day, so neither is the best fit for long walks in the midday heat. Light clothing, shade and accommodation with effective cooling become priorities. Nights stay warm too, averaging 21°C in July and 22°C in August. These months suit heat-tolerant travellers happy to shift outdoor plans towards mornings and evenings rather than keep going all afternoon.
Autumn and winter: lingering warmth, then cooler evenings
September still feels hot, with days averaging 30°C and nights 19°C, so keep the summer habit of taking a midday break. October is easier for sustained walking at 25°C, although 7 rain days make flexible plans useful. November drops to 19°C by day and 10°C at night, calling for an extra layer once the sun goes down. Winter remains mild in the afternoon rather than reliably warm: December averages 16°C, January 15°C and February 17°C. Nights are much cooler, with January averaging 6°C, so bring a jacket. December is the wettest month, but rain is a consideration throughout winter. Choose this season for cooler outdoor days, not for a trip centred on warmth.
