The climate of Concepción (Chile)
Concepción is one of the largest inhabited centers of Chile. The town
was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century. Close to the former
border with the Indians. Because Concepción lies on a fault plane
earthquakes are not uncommon in the town. In the last century the town
was badly struck twice and the latest earthquake that reduced the town
to ruins was in 2010. Concepción has a moderate mediterranean climate.
The mild winters and agreeably warm summers make it a very nice place
to stay. Here most rain falls in the spring. (Mind you: the seasons
are reversed). The summers are practically dry and sunny. The near-by
sea brings a cooling breeze and prevents it from getting too warm.

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:
