Mediterranean climate

Spain has a predominantly Mediterranean climate: warm and sometimes hot summers and mild winters. Significant precipitation falls on a number of days a year.

Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, the average temperature during the day is about 22 degrees Celsius and at night 13 degrees Celsius. In the coldest month of January, the daytime temperature varies somewhere between 10 and 20 degrees, at night it fluctuates between 2 and 12 degrees. In the warmest month of August, this is between 27 and 34 degrees during the day and 22 degrees at night. Large fluctuations in temperature are rare.
