Spain is known for its Mediterranean climate, with the Balearic Islands experiencing rising temperatures in May, reaching mid 20°C highs. July and August are the hottest months, often exceeding 30 °C. Similar patterns are seen on the mainland, where spring and autumn are mild and summers are sunny, with temperatures often in the high 20s. The Canary Islands, located further south, boast a mild, sub-tropical climate.

The western islands get the most rainfall, although summer showers are infrequent.
