It is a mediterranean climate with continental features, that is to say, with strong thermal oscillations between winter and summer. The sun shines some 2.600 annual hours.
The wind of the northwest, called Cierzo, blows strongly (sometimes over 100km/h), persistently and is dry and cold the whole year.
The winters are long, cold and stable. With some days of fog and very scarce days of snow. Sometimes due to winds coming from the arctic a wave of cold lowers the temperatures to ten degrees Celsius under zero.
The summers are also long, hot and stable. With great electric storms, hail and rain. Some days winds of the desert of the Sahara cause heatwaves in those the temperatures shoot above the 40 degrees Celsius.
