The climate of Madrid (Spain)
Madrid is the largest city in Spain and is the capital of the country. The city is located in the central part of Spain in the autonomous region of Madrid. By Spanish standards Madrid is a young city; the first records of the city date back to the 9th century AD. The Moors built a palace here and with that founded the city. Among the attractions in the city are: the Royal palace of Madrid , Museo Nacional del Prado, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Parque del Buen Retiro and Plaza Mayor. Madrid is known for its nightlife, the many restaurants and of course for its soccer teams Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Madrid has a continental climate with characteristics of a Mediterranean climate. This means winters may be cold and summers are warm to hot. Temperatures may even rise above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Many locals have a second house along one of the Spanish costas. Especially the Costa Blanca is popular among them. Because of the altitude at which the city is located it does cool down during the night causing it to be pleasant again.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
