Barcelona and its metropolitan area has a Subtropical-Mediterranean climate[2] (Köppen climate classification: Csa),[3] with mild winters and warm summers. According to Troll-Paffen climate classification, Barcelona has a warm-temperate subtropical climate (Warmgemäßigt-subtropisches Zonenklima).[4] According to Siegmund/Frankenberg climate classification, Barcelona has a subtropical climate.[5] Barcelona is located on the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, so Atlantic west winds often arrive in Barcelona with low humidity, producing no rain. The proximity of the Atlantic, its latitude, and the relief, are the reasons why the summers are not as dry as in most other Mediterranean Basin locations.

Eastern gales sometimes cause floods on the coastline. East and northeast winds can exceed 100 km/h (62.14 mph). In winter Barcelona is sometimes affected by the tramontana or mistral winds, like other places in the Northwestern Mediterranean Basin.

Seasonal information
Because of the mild temperatures, much of the vegetation (palm species for example) remains green throughout the year, while the leaves of many deciduous trees do not fall until February. New leaves appear in March. Snow is rare in Barcelona (falling only once every two years on average), although there are resorts for winter sports in the Pyrenees 100–150 km from the city. Because of the climate and geographical location, the city hopes to host the 2026 Winter Olympics. The opening and closing ceremonies, medal ceremonies and indoor sports would be held in Barcelona, while outdoor sports would be held in ski resorts in the Pyrenees, mainly La Molina.[20] Summers in Barcelona area are long and warm. Summer temperatures - above 20 °C (68 °F) - begin as early as April, although in this month the sea temperature is still cool: about 15 °C (59 °F). The summer season ends in October, although even in November temperatures can often exceed 20 °C (68 °F) and the sea temperature remains mild - 17 °C (63 °F). Over the summer season (6 months), the average temperatures is 21–28 °C (70–82 °F) during the day and the average sea temperature is 22 °C (72 °F). The weather in Barcelona during spring and autumn can be very changeable. During these months it can rain for quite long periods, but consecutive sunny days are also fairly common. The difference between temperatures during day and night is about 10-15 °C (20-30 °F).[21]
