The climate of Zaragoza (Spain)
Zaragoza is one of the largest cities in Spain and is located in the
autonomous region of Aragon in the northern part of Spain. The city is
located at an altitude of 200 meters on the banks of the Erbo River.
It is an old city that was conquered several times throughout history
and had several rulers. The city was named Zaragoza in the 12th
century. The most important attractions of the city are: the Catedral
del Salvador, the Palacio de la Aljaferia, the El Pilar cathedral and
the San Pablo church. The world EXPO was held here in 2008, the theme
was water. Zaragoza has a Mediterranean climate with strong
characteristics of a moderate continental climate. Because of this
average temperatures are lower here than in the coastal areas. Chances
of subzero temperatures (during the night) are higher. Average
precipitation figures are low. Precipitation is quite evenly spread
out over the year. Summers may be warm with daytime temperatures
around 30 degrees Celsius (86.0 degrees Fahrenheit).

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:
