1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:15,119
let's play a game think of Spain what are you thinking of beaches good weather you're

2
00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:19,879
personally right but there's more than that stay with us and you'll discover a new whole

3
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:26,839
Spain a total of five different climates are you ready to learn let's go the first climate

4
00:00:26,839 --> 00:00:31,879
I'm gonna tell you about is the oceanic. Can you guess what it is? Right next to

5
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:37,340
the ocean. Water bodies heat up and cool down slower than land. That's why

6
00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:43,340
temperatures next to an ocean or sea are smooth and mild. Temperatures are mild

7
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:49,280
because of the ocean's influence. Summers are at around 20 degrees and winters are

8
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,159
at around 12. Precipitations are abundant during the four seasons. Galicia,

9
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:59,159
Asturias, Cantabria, Pais Vasco have this climate.

10
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:06,790
As we've seen, distance from the sea is one factor that affects the climate.

11
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:10,790
Another factor is the altitude, or height, from the sea level.

12
00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:15,790
Did you know Spain is one of the most mountainous countries in Europe?

13
00:01:15,790 --> 00:01:19,790
And that takes us to our next climate, mountainous.

14
00:01:19,790 --> 00:01:23,790
It takes place in the most elevated zones of the peninsula,

15
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:30,989
as you can see in blue right now. The Pyrenees in north, the Cantabrian range next to the Cantabric

16
00:01:30,989 --> 00:01:37,390
Sea, the Leon Mountains, the central system, the Burian system or the Vedic and Subvedic system.

17
00:01:38,269 --> 00:01:44,670
In summer temperatures are cool and fresh at around 15 degrees and in the winter they are

18
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:52,430
usually below zero. Precipitation is abundant all year through but in the winter it mainly falls off

19
00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:59,950
in the form of snow. Teide, Aneto or Nolasén are some examples. Now let's focus on what I call

20
00:01:59,950 --> 00:02:07,390
typical Spanish climate or pure Mediterranean climate. Just go away from what I'm recording,

21
00:02:07,390 --> 00:02:13,949
you're so far away. This climate is the envy of the climates. Remember temperatures aren't going

22
00:02:13,949 --> 00:02:19,870
to be soft because the sea is next to it. There's very little precipitation especially in the areas

23
00:02:19,870 --> 00:02:25,310
of Murcia and Alicante and you don't really want to see the gota fría which is a lot of

24
00:02:25,310 --> 00:02:31,949
heavy rain in very little time. And last but not least on the peninsula the not so nice,

25
00:02:31,949 --> 00:02:40,030
not pure but continental mediterranean climate. As you're watching it's the climate from the inside

26
00:02:40,030 --> 00:02:46,270
of the peninsula. This climate is typical from beautiful places like the capital of Madrid or

27
00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:52,750
where I'm from, Zaragoza. In this climate temperatures are extreme, okay? Like 45

28
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:59,389
degrees in summer and below 5 in winter. The best part is that it never snows

29
00:02:59,389 --> 00:03:03,949
because precipitations are irregular and scarce and they usually fall in spring

30
00:03:03,949 --> 00:03:09,389
and autumn. Now let's gonna focus in the last type of climate we've got in Spain.

31
00:03:09,389 --> 00:03:14,889
This is in the Canary Islands. In case you don't know, the Canary Islands are

32
00:03:14,889 --> 00:03:21,250
really close to Africa. Much, much, much closer to the equator than the rest of

33
00:03:21,250 --> 00:03:26,349
the climates from Spain. So all of the beautiful pictures you're seeing right

34
00:03:26,349 --> 00:03:32,629
now belong to the subtropical climate. Temperatures are regular in mile all

35
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:38,889
year round, around 20-23 degrees. Since they're next to Africa there's very

36
00:03:38,889 --> 00:03:48,650
little precipitation especially in the southern islands i hope you understood the five different

37
00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:53,930
climates in spain and next time you visit us make sure you know where you're going you don't

38
00:03:53,930 --> 00:04:01,580
wanna wear flip-flops in the snow do you thank you for watching and now if you'd like to learn

39
00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:07,819
