Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the old town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in October and November; quietest in January.

Then and now

Cádiz's May days now average 24.1°C, 1.6°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 3 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

What Cádiz is like

Cádiz is the chief city of Cádiz Province in Andalusia, the southernmost part of Spain. It has a charming old centre, and thanks to its position on a sandy island even its newer districts are pleasant, with little industry. More on Wikivoyage

Worth seeing: The headland is bisected by Calle Nicaragua / Calle Sacramento. North of that line is Mentidero, a newer district than "Old Town" but still 200 years old. More on Wikivoyage
Worth doing: Beaches: Caleta beach is west edge of Old Town, between the bastions of San Sebastián and Santa Catalina. More on Wikivoyage
Getting in: Jerez de la Frontera (XRY IATA) is the closest airport, with daily flights from Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao, and in summer from London and cities in Germany. More on Wikivoyage

Kind of place

Cádiz is in Spain, Europe. Distances are great-circle, so a short one can still be a long way round.
