Abstract

The climate of peninsular Spain is conditioned by its latitude, geographical position, and relief. The latitude situates it in the zone of temperate climate, with four marked seasons. Its geographical position, a peninsula surrounded by the sea, and the general circulation of the atmosphere mean that it is affected by the humidity coming from the ocean, especially from the Atlantic, while the relief generates barriers that affect the air masses. This, combined with the height of the Meseta, makes it possible to find a type of continental climate that does not appear in the other peninsulas of Europe (Italian and Balkan, more open to the influence of the sea).
