The general climate in Asturias is oceanic, with abundant rainfall spread throughout the year and mild temperatures both in winter and summer. Due to the abrupt nature of the Asturian geography there are many microclimates, although we could distinguish three main microclimates in the Principality: oceanic rainy, oceanic interior and mountain.
The distinguishable climatic zones are:
DescriptionIt is a humid climate, because having the oceanic climate and the coast in the coast and abundant precipitations make the climate, that the atmosphere has a humidity percentage characteristic of the humid climate. Asturian time paradox
The rains in Asturias come from the west (Galicia). If they enter a little low (Pontevedra) does not usually rain in Asturias and yes in the plateau and Extremadura. Weather records
It should be noted that the source of the data is the National Institute of Meteorology (INM) and that this only offers the data of Gijón, Oviedo, Mieres and Asturias Airport for the Principality of Asturias. For that reason the data visualized here correspond to these sources, there is no official data of other places of the Principality, at least public. Although, for example, the INM has an automatic weather station in the Urbanization of Valgrande - El Brañillín, in the Valgrande-Pajares winter season at an altitude of 1480 meters above sea level, where each winter it is easy to see registers below -16 , 4 ° C, although no historical series of this meteorological station are available.
The official climatic data provided above help to characterize the Asturian climate in a very limited way, rather it focuses on a description of the climatic features of the center of the region. While east and west are totally deprived by stations of observation of first order being even more serious especially in the case of the west when in that wing of the region are located the most outstanding micro-climatic characteristics of the Autonomous Community, Ibias and Cangas del Narcea.
