The best months to visit Seville are March, April, May, October and November, when average highs sit in the comfortable range and the light stays generous — April climbs to a pleasant 23 °C with about 7 rain days, while October holds around 27 °C. July and August are peak season, both for scorching 37 °C heat and for the summer crowds and higher prices they bring. Winter is the quiet, low season, cooler and greener but perfectly walkable, so the Real Alcázar and the old lanes feel unhurried.

How the months are picked.A month qualifies when its average high sits in the comfortable 20–28 °C band (scored down towards 9 °C and 37 °C), rain days are few and sunshine hours are high — at least 78 % of the city's best-scoring month. July and August are then set aside as peak season (school-holiday crowds and prices) whenever at least three other months qualify; where summer is the only comfortable window they stay. Figures are ten-year averages (2016-01-01 to 2025-12-31) from ERA5 reanalysis data via Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0) for the city centre coordinates.

Spring (Mar–May)
The prime window — warm, bright and ideal for the Alcázar gardens.
Summer (Jun–Aug)
Only for those who can handle extreme heat; sightsee early or late.
Autumn (Sep–Nov)
Excellent alternative to spring — October and November are relaxed and warm.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
Worth it for value and empty courtyards if you don't need heat.
