Weather in Gijón in July

Prime time. July is about as good as Gijón gets. Highs average 24.7 °C, lows 16.8 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

July is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is August, and the month at the other end of the year is January.

Rain on 8 days, 1 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 36.4 °C and the coldest night fell to 11.7 °C.

July is moderately variable: 13 mm in the driest year against 76 mm in the wettest, around an average of 32 mm. Roughly two Julys in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 8.9 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 76%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 22.8 °C in June, 24.7 here, 25.7 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Gijón's year: 15.1 hours of daylight, losing 0.7 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 19.8 °C in July — swimmable, but it takes a moment to commit. This is the warmest the water gets all year.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Gijón versus nearby

If Gijón is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Valladolid is the weaker option in July — 6.3 °C warmer, 5 days less rain. Bilbao is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: July is the answer for Gijón. If it is booked out or priced out, August is the next best thing at 2 points behind, and January is the month to keep off the shortlist.
