Dry and hot summers, soft winters.- 500mm/year35º-40º C (even more) in summer10º-20º C in winter* Influence of the sea: - Not too hot summers: 25º-30ºC- Warm winters: 18º-20ºC
Mediterranean climate
Precipitation: 200mm-400mm/yearTemperatures: 30º-40ºC summer, 15º-20ºC winter
Semi-arid climate
- DESERTIFICATION- CHANGES IN PRECIPITATION- CHANGES IN TEMPERATURES- CHANGES IN SEA LEVEL
SPAIN CLIMATE CHANGE CONSEQUENCES
- 20% of the Spanish territory (South-East) is in high risk: irregular rain- Changes in temperatures: it increases evapotranspiration, soil infertility, etc
DESERTIFICATION RISK
- 1906-2010: clear drying trend, impact in agriculture- Particular case in my area: olive groves- Water reserves- Floods: particular case of mediterranean area, DANA's (trend)

Madrid 2021
CHANGES IN TEMPERATURES
- Sea level rise has been 2-3 mm/year XX century.- 15 cm is expected until 2050.- At the end of the century sea level rise is estimated to be 0,5-1 m.Coastal regions: It threatens towns, infrastructures.
