Climates range from cold and snowy in the mountain regions, to mild and sunny near the coast.
Madrid is usually hot and dry in the summer, with temperatures reaching into the 90's and 100's. In the winter, however, the temperature can be as low as in the 30's. Do not fall prey to the common misconception that Spain has a warm or mild climate. General heating in certain areas is far from ideal, so be prepared for a chilly few months. If you are going in the fall, it may begin to get cold as early at October.
