Extreme weather - Spain Video Transcripts

The city of Madrid itself is very dry, it's like a desert, very flat, so very hot during the summers, very cold during the winters. It rarely snows, it snowed a few times, but very rarely, because it just doesn't rain. There's not very much humidity, it's very dry. If you go to Malaga, the southern part of Spain, it's also going to be very hot and sunny. Fairly dry, but it's also on the Mediterranean, so it's a little bit more of an ocean breeze. And then the northwestern part is going to be very green and humid and rainy all the time.

Sometimes it rains a lot in Spain. I remember, I mean they say it rains in Spain in the Blanes or something, but I remember we were in the northwest province of Galicia and it just was dumping rain. You'd walk around and try to hold an umbrella over your head. It just wouldn't do anything. Our feet were so sopping wet by the end. We'd come home and you'd have to like lay your socks out and like get a fan or a heater to like dry them off all night long. And sometimes your socks would like kind of roast because of that and get really crunchy, which is gross, but it was it was gnarly and our feet would get all black because all the coloring on your socks would would wear off onto your feet.

Okay, so the weather is kind of hit and miss. In the summer, it is crazy hot. It is always super hot. If you're in Madrid, you kind of feel like an ant under like a magnifying glass. You're just like in the city, there's not like breezes, it's that there's no wind, it's super hot. And in the south of Spain, it's really hot as well. And then in the winter, you can get snow in Madrid and it gets pretty cold, so you need like a winter jacket.

Okay, normally the weather in southern Spain, where I was, is really good. It's called the Costa del Sol, and so it's this sunny coast, right, so it almost never rains or anything. There is one area in Granada that has snow down there, but when I was in my first area, actually, there was a huge rainstorm, and it actually snowed there for the first time in 60 years, and the rain was so crazy that there was flooding, and the town next to us got flooded, and so we spent a lot of time around Christmas helping them clean out the city from all this mud and the flooding. So, just goes to show you that even though there's not loads of weather in Spain, like, you definitely want a coat and a rain jacket, and if it gets cold in winter, there's definitely winter as well, even though the weather is really bad. So, thank you guys.

So the weather in Spain can be pretty dependent on where you are. Up north in Galicia, in Asturias, it rains a lot. There were some days, some months where it was just straight rain. And there's also like high winds up there and so you just stick your umbrella in front of you and hope that you don't get soaked, your legs will get soaked. In Madrid it gets really, really hot during the summer, up to like 100 something degrees Fahrenheit. And then I was also in the islands and it's just perfect weather. It's the 70s almost all the time, depending on where you're at, I guess. I was in Los Cristianos, which is in the south. It's more desert-like, so hardly rained at all, which is nice after coming from the north.

It's called Galicia and it's right above Portugal. The weather is really really really wet and it's actually super green and so it's like up and down because you're like wow it always rains and you're looking like wow this is green like when I got there I didn't realize that grass actually grows naturally in some areas and that's what it is. It's just really green and you go along the beach and you go drive along and it's just all green and you're like wow. In Galicia it does rain a lot and so I'm just gonna warn you right there. But it's also so much fun and it's a really cool place to go and the weather doesn't really compare to how great Galicia is. It's my favorite place in Spain.

Um, I went to the southern, I went to central southern Spain in like July and visiting Cordoba and Sevilla at that time was terrible. It was 107 degrees the one day we went to visit Cordoba and I was melting, I was dying. It was so hot and just made a lot of us get sick and just we could not be walking around outside.
