All Months
March through May is Seville's sweet spot. Temperatures hover around 75°F, orange trees bloom throughout the city, and outdoor terraces become extensions of every bar. Easter week brings incredible processions but also crushing crowds and hotel prices that triple overnight.
September through November offers similar weather with fewer tourists. October might be perfect — warm enough for evening strolls, cool enough that the afternoon sun won't melt your phone.
Summer in Seville is not a joke. July temperatures regularly hit 110°F, and the sun doesn't set until 9:30pm. Locals flee to the coast, leaving the city to tourists who underestimated Andalusian heat. If you must visit in summer, embrace the siesta — everything shuts down from 2pm to 5pm anyway.
Winter surprises visitors with its mildness. December temperatures rarely drop below 45°F, making it perfect for exploring without the sweat. Just pack a light jacket for evenings when that desert air turns crisp.
