Looking back at Primavera Sound earlier this month, we certainly went on a journey with the Barcelona weather. Thursday was a total soaking with persistent rain that left the Parc del Fòrum pretty damp, though the humidity meant it stayed surprisingly mild throughout the sets. By Friday, things started to look up with just a few on-and-off showers, but it was notably cooler than a typical June day, so a light jacket was definitely the move once the sun dipped. Saturday was the absolute standout and the hottest day of the weekend; while the thermometer said 24°C, the humidity made it feel like a sticky 26°C in the middle of the crowd. Compared to what we usually expect in early June, this year was much wetter and more unpredictable than the norm. I hope you packed your sturdy boots for that messy opening night and kept the sunscreen handy for that gorgeous, humid Saturday finale. It was the kind of weekend where you needed a poncho in your pocket one minute and a cold drink to beat the heat the next.

Primavera Sound takes over the Parc del Fòrum on Barcelona's seafront every June, mixing alternative, pop, hip-hop and electronic acts late into the night. Its taste-making line-up and Mediterranean setting have made it one of Europe's most copied festivals.
Early June in Barcelona is warm Mediterranean: highs of 23–26°C, nights still pleasant at 17–19°C, and rainfall low — most years see at most a passing shower. Humidity off the sea keeps the air sticky after dark.
The Parc del Fòrum is concrete and almost completely unshaded, so the afternoon sun is the main enemy — most regulars don't bother showing up until evening. Sea breeze keeps the night stages tolerable, but the same humidity means you're sweating through your shirt by the second band.
