How Much Rain in May?
You can expect about 18 days this month with sunny, or at least partly sunny skies.
Rainfall of 1 mm (0.04 inches) or more occurs on average, on 5 days during May.
Daylight
The number of daylight hours increases this month from about 14 hours on the 1st to nearly 15 hours by the 31st.
Windspeed
The wind in Barcelona this month tends to be mostly light to gentle at 6-19 kph/4-12 mph.
Ocean Temperatures
At the beach, ocean temperatures will warm gradually from about 16 C to 18 C (61-64 F) so swimming options will be limited to the more adventurous.
What to Wear in Barcelona in May?
Spring attire will be best this month, however, there can be some warmer afternoons.
We recommend a light jacket or windbreaker, long-sleeved shirts, and tops, as well as some lighter attire for those few warmer afternoons.
Don’t forget some comfortable walking shoes!
Things to Do in Barcelona in May
There will be a lot of sunny days in May, so this would probably be a good time to consider taking a pay-what-you-wish walking tour in Barcelona.
May will also be the month of Festival Ciutat Flamenco (Flamenco City), so there will be a lot of great opportunities to see Flamenco dancers performing at this time of year.
If you’re looking for something fun to do after dark, May 15th will be the Night of the Museums, which means a lot of notable museums will be staying open late and there will also be music and dancing.
Looking for a concert to attend? Yungblud will be performing in Barcelona on May 3rd, 2022.

Where does this data come from
Weather data for Barcelona was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.
For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020).
For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in July (e.g., July 1, July 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.
