In Barcelona, right now.
Barcelona overcast — 22°C, that soft Mediterranean grey that makes the Gaudí architecture even more dreamlike. The MNAC, the Miró Foundation, the cooking schools — covered Barcelona thrives.

Common questions
What are the best months to visit Barcelona?
May-June and September-October. Warm (20-27°C), beach-perfect, less humid than peak summer. May lets you do everything; June has warmer sea (22°C) and longer days. September has the warmest sea of all (24°C) plus fewer crowds — locals consider it the best month. July-August is hot, packed, and pricey. November-March is mild (8-15°C) but rainier; the Med winter is actually pleasant for sightseeing.
What should I wear in Barcelona in summer?
Beach-to-city outfits. Lightweight t-shirts, shorts or sundresses, comfortable sandals for cobbles. UV is intense (8-10), so sun hat and sunglasses essential. For tapas evenings, bring something slightly nicer — Barcelonans dress up. Light scarf or wrap for restaurant AC. Pack a beach bag: swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, water. The Gothic Quarter's stone streets stay cool even in heat; this is where to walk midday.
How warm is the Mediterranean in Barcelona?
Mediterranean sea temperatures peak in August (25°C) and stay warm through October (22°C — the secret swimming month). June reaches 22°C, October still 22°C. May is 18°C (cold for most), November 17°C (only for the brave). The water is generally calm, clear, and safe at city beaches (Barceloneta, Bogatell, Mar Bella). Check flag system: green safe, yellow caution, red no swim. Storms occasionally close beaches in autumn.
What can you do in Barcelona when it rains?
The Sagrada Família is breathtaking in rain (the colored light through stained glass). Picasso Museum, MNAC (Catalan art on Montjuïc), CaixaForum, and the smaller Joan Miró Foundation are all rain-perfect. The covered Boqueria market is a meal in itself. La Rambla under a Gothic arcade umbrella. Stay in Gràcia or Born for tapas-hopping through covered passages. End at a Modernista café like Cafè de l'Òpera or Els Quatre Gats. Mediterranean rain is usually brief and dramatic; wait 30 min, beach plan back on.
