What to Wear and Pack for Spring in Seville, Spain

Spring comprises March, April, and May
 
Spring in Seville, Spain, is a time of year that brings delightful weather and contagious energy. When you visit during this season, you’ll be swept up in lively local festivals. The iconic Semana Santa is the star to witness religious processions with ornate floats and deep devotion.

March welcomes you with mild weather, and lows are on average around 70s F (20s°C) during the day, allowing you to enjoy the city comfortably. However, do keep in mind that some rain is common. Moving on to April, you’ll notice a slight dip in temperatures compared to March. At last, May arrives as the warmest spring month. A May vacation in Seville treats you with nearly flawless weather. You’ll bask in a sun-soaked and dry atmosphere. Daytime conditions are just right, around 70s F (mid-20s°C), while evenings gently cool off, settling in the 50s F (low 10s°C). Humidity can be between 40% and 50%, so you’ll stay fresh while you soak in the sights. What’s more, showers are quite scarce, so you can plan your outdoor adventures without worries.

Now, let’s get to what you shouldn’t forget in your spring packing list for Seville:

  • Don’t forget a sweater: ideal for exploring in March and early April in Seville.
  • Choose breathable waterproof footwear: opt for practical yet stylish shoes that can withstand your exploration. You’ll be grateful for clean feet, especially when navigating the dusty fairgrounds.

What to Wear and Pack for Summer in Seville, Spain

Summer comprises June, July, and August
 
Summer in Seville is hot like in no other place in Europe! It can get as high as 104 F (40s°C) during July and August. But don’t get scared, follow our summer packing tips and you’re up to the challenge of surviving the heat!

This season is all about sunlight and very little rainfall. In fact, highs may be around 96.8F (36°C) and nighttime lows around 68F (20°C). July, in particular, can be really hot, slightly cloudy, and dry, with rain being a rare guess. Daytime temps on average linger in the 90s F (mid-30s°C). If you go in August, get ready for the same conditions but double. The city’s attractions can get awfully crowded, so, not the best idea. However, there’s a giant flamenco festival, the Bienal de Flamenco, which might just be the occasion to endure the heat and join the party.
 
Here are some must-have summer outfits you shouldn’t forget packing for your adventure in Seville:

  • Clothes with light fabrics: such as light linen shorts, flowy sundresses, and breathable shirts are your best friends in Seville’s summer. Avoid jeans as they are too tough for the heat.
  • Shorts: while they may not be suitable for some places, they are ideal for walking around during hot summer days.
  • Tank tops and T-shirts: just like the above, try to avoid them for formal places or put on a jacket above.
  • Maxi dresses and skirts: you’ll spot many people wearing maxi dresses and skirts, especially at tourist attractions.
  • Loose clothes: to stay cooler in the Seville heat. For instance, floaty blouses made of natural fabrics are also great.
  • Swimwear: if you’re thinking of a day trip to the beach or if your accommodation has a pool, be sure to pack it. Don’t forget to bring along a beach cover-up.
  • Sun hat: It not only provides shade but also helps you blend in with locals.
  • Sunscreen: make sure to use sunscreen, especially if you plan to be out during the hottest parts of the day.

With these clothing and accessory choices, you’ll be well-prepared to stay comfortable and stylish during your summer stay in Seville.

  • Flats: It is warm during the fall, and that applies to footwear too, opt for a pair of flats that won’t make your feet feel too warm.
