Best time to visit Gijón
Spain · 20-year averages
July is the best month in Gijón, scoring 86 out of 100, with January the weakest at 49. The 37-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs May to September — 5 months within ten points of the best.
August is the warmest month at 25.7 °C and January the coolest at 13.4 °C — a 12.3 °C spread across the year.
There is a real wet season here. January and November carry the rain — up to 17 wet days in a month — while June to September drop as low as 8. That 9-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Gijón, and it moves further than the temperature does.
The sea peaks at just 20.9 °C, which is wetsuit territory even at its warmest — a coast to look at rather than swim in. Daylight runs from 9 hours in winter to 15.4 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.
The three strongest months are July, August, September. The one to think twice about is January. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
