It's hot and dry in the summer and moderately cold in the winters. It hardly snows and when it does, it doesn't stick to the ground. - Apr 2012


Warm and sunny. - Nov 2011


Madrid has a Mediterranean climate. The summers are hot and dry and the winters mild cold. In general terms, it doesn´t snow here but since we arrived there have been a couple of days snowing. The first snow in many years was a couple of days after we arrived and the city collapsed because it wasn´t prepared. Now they seem to have things under control. - Oct 2011


Winter months are fairly wet, mostly rain but with a few snow storms this past year of 4-6 inches. The snow melts off in a day or two. Jan and Feb. require a winter jacket and gloves to keep warm. Spring seems to be quite wet and summer is really hot. I like the heat, so I am not a good judge of too hot or not, but it is about 90 to 100 or more from the end of June to the end of August. September to November are just beautiful. Summer and Fall offer clear brilliant blue skies with a lemon-ball sun. I never think about rain, only if it will be just hot or REALLY hot. - Aug 2010


Hot and extremely dry in summer. Cold, damp winters with little to no snow. Pleasant spring and fall seasons. Air is often uncomfortably dry. - Feb 2009


Usually dry and sunny, with one or two months of cold and at least two months of dry hot heat. It rains occassionally from September through May. Think inter-Mountain West; matched Meford-Ashland area's climate exactly. - Jan 2008
