A Coruña has a mild Atlantic climate (Köppen Cfb) that sets it apart from the rest of Spain. The city sits on Galicia’s north-west coast, fully exposed to Atlantic westerlies, so it gets about 1,000 mm of rain a year spread over roughly 130 rainy days, and temperatures stay between about 8°C and 24°C in all 12 months. Snow and frost are rare at sea level. This A Coruña weather by month guide covers exactly what to expect, month by month.

Winter is mild and wet. December averages a high of 14.0°C (57°F) and a low of 8.7°C (48°F) with 126 mm of rain. January is similar at 13.5°C (56°F) high and 8.0°C (46°F) low, and it is one of the wettest months at about 114 mm.

Sea temperatures run from about 13°C (55°F) in February to 19°C (66°F) in August, so the swimming season is short, roughly July to mid-September, and even then many locals wear a wetsuit.
