Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical models, help predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location based on various relationships such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.

Weather forecasts are exercises that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically based on the observation of cloud patterns, wind, and the time of year, although at first these were not very accurate.

It was not until the arrival of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that made it possible to achieve more accurate predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for transportation (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operations, beyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit to wear.

Although the Amet registers up to 13 types of climates in Spain, there are actually four that predominate: oceanic, Mediterranean with cool summers, continental Mediterranean and cold steppe.

The oceanic region is characterized by being temperate with cool summers, abundant and well-distributed rainfall throughout the year.

In Spain it appears mainly in the north and west of Galicia, the Cantabrian Sea, the Iberian System, northeast of the northern plateau and a large part of the Pyrenees, except for the highest areas.

The cool summer Mediterranean, as its name suggests, has dry and cool summers, as well as cold or mild winters, while most of the rain falls in winter or intermediate seasons.

This climate covers most of the northern plateau, interior of Galicia and numerous mountainous areas in the center and south of the peninsula. In the Canary Islands, it extends widely throughout the interior of the islands of La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera and Tenerife, as well as in the highest areas of Gran Canaria.

The continental Mediterranean has mild and rainy winters, as well as dry and hot summers.

This type of climate is present in much of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. It extends across most of the southern half and the Mediterranean coastal regions, except for the arid areas of the southeast.

As for the cold steppe, the winters are very cold and the summers can be mild or warm, in addition, precipitation is scarce.

This climate extends across the southeast of the peninsula, the Ebro valley, the southern plateau and, to a lesser extent, Extemadura, the Balearic Islands and the center of the northern plateau. They are also observed on all the islands of the Canary archipelago.
