Best time to visit Zaragoza
Spain · 20-year averages
October is the best month in Zaragoza, scoring 87 out of 100, with July the weakest at 48. The 39-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 6 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.
July is the warmest month at 34.2 °C and January the coolest at 12.9 °C — a 21.3 °C spread across the year. Around 90 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side. 15 nights a year dip below freezing.
There is a real wet season here. April to May carry the rain — up to 9 wet days in a month — while February, July, August and December drop as low as 4. That 5-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Zaragoza, and it moves further than the temperature does.
Daylight runs from 9.2 hours in winter to 15.2 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.
The three strongest months are October, May, April. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
