June and October are recommended as the perfect times to visit this area of Spain, but if you prefer intense, uninterrupted heat then the peak of the season will suit you better. October sees the odd rain storm.

Lloret de Mar’s winters are cool and sometimes cold. At its coldest in January and December average highs around 13°C do not illustrate the fact that it can often get very cold even in the day time. While snow is rare it has been known to occur. Anyone visiting at this time of year should pack clothes suitable for the cold. Average lows are around 2°C meaning it can easily be colder, especially at night. The days are also considerably shorter with December only seeing around nine hours of daylight. It is generally more damp and overcast at this time of year though not unpleasant by UK’s standards.

Costa Brava is the furthest north of Spain’s beach resorts with Lloret the Mar situated around the middle. It has a cooler climate in comparison to the rest of Spain due to the cooling effect of the Mediterranean Sea and the increased rainfall this encourages. This is by no means negative as it encourages a greener countryside and less extreme heat in the summer. It still gets incredibly hot but not to the extent of southern, inland regions. Costa Brava’s physical geography is incredibly diverse with the result of meteorologically diverse regions. Lloret de Mar is known for its pleasant microclimate; sheltered from the north winds by mountainous terrain, sitting right on the sea, Lloret de Mar is among the mildest of Costa Brava’s resorts.
