Climate & Weather Overview
Seville experiences a Mediterranean climate with scorching, dry summers and mild winters. Temperatures regularly exceed 35°C (95°F) from June through August, with September still remaining quite warm. Winters are pleasant, ranging from 8–17°C (46–63°F), though rain is more frequent between November and March. The city receives minimal rainfall overall, so you won't need to worry excessively about unexpected downpours outside the winter months.
Best Time to Visit
April through May and September through October are ideal for exploring Seville. During these shoulder seasons, temperatures hover around 25–28°C (77–82°F), making it comfortable to walk the narrow streets of the Barrio Santa Cruz and visit major attractions like the Cathedral and Alcázar Palace without melting. Hotel rates during these periods are moderate, typically €60–120 per night for mid-range options, and crowds are manageable compared to peak summer.
Seasonal Breakdown
Summer (June–August) brings intense heat and peak tourism; expect €100+ nightly rates and packed monuments. Winter (December–February) offers fewer tourists and pleasant 15°C afternoons, though some restaurants close seasonally. Spring and Fall deliver the sweet spot: warm days, cool evenings, and reasonable prices. If visiting during Semana Santa (Holy Week, March or April), book accommodation months ahead—hotels fill quickly and rates spike considerably.
