Because of its geographical location in the Middle zone, Pamplona has
a transitional climate half Mediterranean and Oceanic. Because of the
influence of the Cantabrian Sea, the wet northeastern winds bring frequent
rainfalls -134 days a year and 833 milimetres of precipitation a year
-, a relatively high humidity around 70 %, and mild temperatures - an
average 12 degrees Celsius all year round.
The influence of the mediterranean climate predominant
in the Riverside zone makes the summers dry with considerably hot days
in July and August. Winter is usually long taking up part of spring. It
seldom snows but it can snow an average ten days a year. Summer is short,
reduced to the months of July and August in which there are days with
occasional showers and cool breezes. In the region of Pamplona autumn
is delicious for its mild temperatures, changing skies and the beauty
of a view in constant mutation.
