General weather Overview
Spain may be visited at any time of year. Spain features a variety of
temperate zones because of its location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea,
as well as the Pyrenees in the north. While the Atlantic air in the west maintains temperatures
moderate throughout the year, the Mediterranean is much hotter, with partly tropical humidity.
The fall brings the majority of the precipitation around the Mediterranean Sea. The northern
mountain regions, on the other hand, are the coolest. Winter is often chilly but pleasant, with the
exception of the north, where it rains frequently and the temperatures are extremely low.
