Weather forecasts for Tarragona in January were changeable. Although there was sunshine at times, the cold and persistent Rain gave a wintry atmosphere. Ideal for culture lovers, less so for sun worshippers.
Not too cold or too hot average 27graden sea water was lovely only the more you came to October the clammy or humid it became at night so 00.00am
Have been here 2x consecutive years now in May. The first time in late May and then we had plenty of sunshine and the sea was cool, but fine for swimming. The sea water is always clear here too and the beaches clean. This year I was in early May and it was still cloudy at times and had a few days of rain. Nevertheless, I did get sunburned. In terms of temperature, it was fine.
