Warm and dry
Barcelona in May offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 65°F and comfortable lows near 62°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 1 rainy days expected across the month, ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Warm and dry.
This is one of the most popular months to visit Barcelona, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
