Weather Spain- Enjoy the charisma of the weather

The weather in Spain is perhaps the most diverse in Europe due to its position

, coasts, mountains and large land mass. Spain enjoys a healthy amount of sunshine but the country is vast and experiences a whole range of weather conditions and a very diverse climate. Coastal areas have very different weather from the central inland regions and the mountainous region. North and South have different climates as they are at very different latitudes, and the east and west are different again since they are affected by the Mediterranean and the Atlantic respectively. In general there are broadly three main

climates found in the region of Spain namely continental, Mediterranean and maritime.

The Mediterranean weather is observed down the east coast of Spain with hot dry summers and mild winters. Sunshine is frequent averaging 6hrs a day in winter and 12 in summer. Rainfall is highest in autumn and winter and very low in summer. Spain is a beach holiday destination because of the Mediterranean weather and sunshine is guaranteed in this weather. Summer highs are normally in the highs 20s and low 30s and evenings are warm too, usually above 20C. Some days can get up towards 40C in mid-summer when the sea breeze is absent.

Continental weather is observed in the central regions and one can see very hot temperatures climbing to the highs of 30 and even 40c. Winter temperatures can get very cold with frosts common and snowfall in the mountain regions. Maritime weather is experienced by the north and north-west of the country where rainfall is pretty high and occurs throughout the year. Frequent storms hit the coast accounting for most of the rainfall.

These varied climatic conditions make Spain a must watch nation.
