Valencia has few rainy days, but when it rains the downpour can be heavy, mostly in September and October. Switch to the Mercado Central, the Lonja, the cathedral, the ceramics museum and the free Museu de Belles Arts. The gate towers can limit visits in rain, and the Oceanogràfic and the Bioparc are mostly outdoors.
The summer sun is strong, with highs near 30 degrees in July and August. Plan outdoor sights for the morning and the last hours of daylight, and keep the cathedral, the market or a museum for 13:00 to 17:00. Shade is scarce in the Turia gardens and on the beach, so carry water and sunscreen.
