From late June until the first weeks of September, the summer heat can be appalling, averaging above 30°C (85°F). The winter months are bitter, with temperatures averaging 2-11°C (36-52°F), though February occasionally produces crisp blue days and temperatures around 17°C (60°F).
As in much of Spain, spring (March-May) and October are the best times to be in Madrid. The weather is generally agreeable, the city has a fresh feel to it and it isn't too overrun with tourists. If you love to party, visit during May for Madrid's biggest fiesta. You might like to book ahead though, it's a tough month for tracking down accommodation. |
