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

Weather read at the old town and beaches: 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 from May to September; quietest from November to February.

Sitges's June days now average 26.9°C, 3.3°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 12 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

Getting there

Fly into Barcelona (BCN), then drive. The flights under Where to book are to Barcelona.

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

How far Sitges is depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.
