A subtropical climate is expected to have at least 10 months of the year with +10C, with the coldest months averaging between 2-13C. The Mediterranean subset of subtropical climates has hot and dry summers and wet, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/where-to-buy-warm-quilts-and-duvets-in-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>cool winters<\/strong><\/a>. The Mediterranean climate precipitation being dominated by high-pressure cells in the summer excludes most rain during that season while the winter polar jet stream brings rain and possibly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/the-best-skiing-near-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>snow<\/strong><\/a> in the winter months. The summer months witness occasional thunderstorms, but it is not unheard during a for 4-6 months period with only minimal precipitations. Temperature ranges in this subtropical climate can mean warm summers and mild winters or hot summers and relatively cold winters. In Madrid, it is the latter of the two with snow and frost possible on an annual basis. The higher elevation of Madrid contributes to this phenomenon of colder winters, but the adjacent desert winds can escalate warm temperatures in the summer as well.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"hot-summers\"><\/span>Hot summers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_8267\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8267\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8267\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space-810x608.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space-1140x855.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/madrid-building-spain-capital-architecture-space.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo via Visualhunt<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you like it HOT, then Madrid is a fantastic summer playground with temperatures ranging from 20-40C in the six-month long summer paradise. July and August are by far the hottest months with most days over 30C and a fair portion of the 40C range. This may be a reason a lot of Madrilenos love refreshing drinks like Sangria, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/best-vermouth-vermut-bars-madrid-spain\/\">Vermouth<\/a> <\/strong>or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/pour-me-a-gin-tonic\/\">Gin<\/a><\/strong>. Another great part is that the number of hours of sunshine is better than most cities in Europe averaging over 7 hours a day and a whopping 11.5 hours of sunshine during July. Maybe that is why it is considered the party city when the sun shines so long, and parties last long into the night, just to cool down. With humidity peaking in the mid-summer at 74%, it can be quite steamy during July, but most other months the humidity does not play a factor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/ideal-winter-getaways-in-the-region-of-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ideal Winter Getaways in the Region of Madrid<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"cool-winters\"><\/span>Cool winters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_8266\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/16557563004_d975447cf8_b.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8266\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8266\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/16557563004_d975447cf8_b-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/16557563004_d975447cf8_b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/16557563004_d975447cf8_b-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/16557563004_d975447cf8_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/16557563004_d975447cf8_b-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/16557563004_d975447cf8_b-810x608.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8266\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo via Visualhunt<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The winters in Madrid are cold by Spanish standards but are considered mild in comparison to most northern climate countries.
