There are five main climate types in Spain: Mediterranean, Atlantic, Continental, Subtropical, and Mountain. The Mediterranean climate is typical along coastal areas with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Inland areas have a more Continental climate with colder winters and hotter, drier summers. The Atlantic climate on the northern coast brings abundant rainfall and cooler temperatures. Subtropical climates in the Canary Islands are mild year-round. Mountain areas see heavy snowfall in very cold winters and mild summers.
