Spain Weather - North and North Western Spain


The North and North Eastern Coastal Regions of Spain

Including (with towns and cities in parentheses):
GALICIA (La Coruña, Santiago de Compostela),

most of ASTURIAS (Oviedo), CANTABRIA (Santander) and PAIS VASCO (Bilbao, Vitoria),

northwestern NAVARRA (Pamplona)

This is the part of the country most influenced by depressions travelling in from the Atlantic, particularly in autumn and winter. It is the rainiest and cloudiest part of Spain. Although summers are cooler, cloudier, and wetter than elsewhere in the country there is still a considerable amount of warm, sunny weather. Rainfall Decreases from west to east in the Pyrenees but is quite high on the seaward slopes of the Cantabrians and in the extreme northwest (Galicia). Daily hours of sunshine average from three in winter to seven or eight in summer.
