Here's the 10-day weather forecast: http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/SPXX0015?from=_topnav_business

I was in Barcelona, Spain on 18-20SEP06 and it was still very HOT, compared to the Southern California conditions at the time before I left. I bet it will still be slightly warmer there in Barcelona than here in CA. It was the most humid in Barcelona than any other city I visited (Granada, Seville, Toledo, & Madrid) at the end of September, so that is probably what contributed to the warmer weather there than anywhere else in Spain. Like I said, since it is now the middle of Fall, it will probably be cooler, but still warmer than Southern CA. Not sure where you're from, so I'm just comparing to where I'm at. It might be different depending on where your at.

I would bring long pants (jeans), sweatshirts, long sleeve shirts, as well as 1 or 2 short sleeve shirts (just in case you might need them), and a light jacket. You might want to bring your passport too! There are a LOT of sites to see in Barcelona. You should think about extending your trip so that you can do some sightseeing on your own, rather than being stuffed in a conference room 8-hrs a day and then being too tired to explore at night, which is when everything is closed anyway. Hopefully, your hotel is in the middle of the city so that you don't need to worry about getting back.

Answer 3

It should be in the 50-65 degree range (fahrenheit). I'd bring a couple of warm choices. The buildings may not be heated as well as you are used to, depending on where you are traveling from. Also bring an umbrella. It can tend toward rainy. Not sure where you are traveling from. The US? If so, be aware that in Spain people tend to dress a bit nicer for casual wear than in the US. Wearing jeans and tennis shoes to dinner is very American and if you like going to nightclubs many won't even let you in wearing tennis shoes.

Answer 4

The weather here is finally cooling down a bit so bring a light jacket and an umbrella, just in case. It has been unusually hot this October but today it is a comfortable low 70's F.
