Mediterranean Weather

2010-02-08T08:58:00.000-08:00

The Mediterranean weather obviously prevails right down the east coast of Spain as well as in the Balearic islands giving 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.
This is the type of weather that has made Spain such a famous beach-holiday destination. Summer rainfall is very low and sun is guaranteed. Temperatures are hot in summer, though the cooling sea breezes make for more comfortable days than you get in central Spain. Summer highs are normally in the highs 20s and low 30s and evenings are warm too, usually above 20°C. Some days can get up towards 40°C in mid-summer when the sea breeze is absent.
Winters are mild and temperatures rarely fall into single figures. A sunny winter's day can be very pleasant with the mercury climbing towards 20°C. It makes this part of Spain a good place for those wanting a break from the cold winters of northern Europe.
Late autumn, winter and early spring is when most of the rain falls. This rain often arrives in short heavy bursts when storms sweep in off the sea.
The further south down the Mediterranean coast one travels, the hotter it becomes. The southern regions can be subject to hot winds that blow off the deserts of northern Africa. These can bring very hot days and also deposit red desert sand over Spain - you'll notice this when you look at any of the white buildings or cars. The southern Mediterranean regions can also be very windy.
The northern end of the coast, on the other hand, can receive more rainfall and the occasional summer downpour.
