Climate - Jerez De La Frontera (Andalusia)

The climate of Jerez de la Frontera can be defined as Mediterranean, even though the summer is particularly hot.
The city is located about 15 km (9 mi) from the Atlantic coast of Andalusia, where the cities of Rota, El Puerto de Santa María, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and Cadiz are located.
The average temperature of the coldest month (January) is of 10.8 °C (51.4 °F), that of the warmest month (August) is of 26.3 °C (79.3 °F). Here are the average temperatures.

Precipitation amounts to 565 millimeters (22.2 inches) per year: so, it is at an intermediate level. It ranges from 0 mm (0 in) in the driest months (July, August) to 110 mm (4.3 in) in the wettest (December). Here is the average precipitation.

Winter, from December to February, is mild.
There are many sunny days, in which the air is mild during the day, but quite cold at night. Also, in periods of good weather, fog can form at night and in the early morning.
However, there are also periods of bad weather, with wind and rain.
Very cold days are rare, however, on the coldest nights of the year, the temperature generally drops to the freezing point or a little below.
The cold record is -5.5 °C (22 °F) and was recorded in December 1979 and January 2005. However, even during the coldest days, it is very rare for the maximum to remain below 10 °C (50 °F).
Snow in Jerez is extremely rare. The last time that the city was covered in a white blanket was in February 1954.

Summer, from June to mid-September, is very hot and sunny, with very rare rains.
During the day, there is often scorching heat because the Guadalquivir plain heats up a lot (in the interior, we find Seville and Cordoba, the hottest cities in Europe), but in Jerez, which is close to the sea, in the afternoon the breeze blows from the ocean, which remains cool even in summer. For this reason, at night the temperature almost always drops below 20 °C (68 °F).
However, the temperature exceeds 35 °C (95 °F) for 38 days a year. The heat record is 45 °C (113 °F), and was recorded in August 2003 and August 2021. In 2016, the temperature reached 44.5 °C (112 °F) in early September.



On average, there are around 2,965 sunshine hours per year. Therefore the city is very sunny. Here are the average sunshine hours per day.

On the coast, the sea temperature ranges between 16 °C (61 °F) and 23 °C (73 °F). Here are the average sea temperatures in Rota.
