Weather Salou , Barcelona

Salou is a coastal resort on the Costa Dorada of Catalunya in northeast Spain. It's about 10km from the town of Tarragona, 90kms down the coast from Barcelona and 150km down from the more renowned Costa Brava. Tourists are attracted by its numerous coves and beaches and excellent scenery as well as by the great summer weather.

The climate in Salou is typically Mediterranean meaning warm summers with plenty of sunshine and mild winters. There are rarely extremes in temperature. It has a good balance; summer temperatures are a little cooler and more comfortable than the resorts of southern Spain, while winter temperatures are milder than those felt in other parts of northern Europe.

The climate is regulated by the surrounding sea. In Salou, the tourist-packed summers can reach highs in the mid-twenties, while the rainy autumn months average in the high teens. If you enjoy mild weather for your holiday, head to Salou in winter or spring when you can avoid summer crowds and autumn rain.

The temperatures increase quickly with the onset of spring highs in March average at 17°C and can touch 20°C in April.

Early spring is also quite dry making it a great time to visit Salou before the beaches become too busy. The sea temperature is between 13 and 17°C in the spring making it possible to enjoy the waves in your wetsuit. It's also nice to enjoy a walk on the beach before the high season arrives in summertime. Local attractions are less busy this time of year, as well, and you can see what Salou has to offer in addition to its beaches.

Salou enjoys moderate weather all year with no notable weather hazards. Occasionally, storms do come in off the Mediterranean or roll down from the Pyrenees.
