Climate in Jerez de la Frontera
Jerez de la Frontera has an oceanic Mediterranean climate moderated by the Atlantic and the Bay of Cadiz. Summers are hot with average highs of 33 degrees Celsius, and winters are very mild with lows rarely below 5 degrees.
Annual rainfall is around 600 mm, concentrated in autumn and winter through Atlantic depressions entering via the Gulf of Cadiz. The easterly levante wind, characteristic of the area, dries the air and increases the heat index in summer.
Westerly sea breezes cool afternoons and help shape the quality of Jerez soleras, supplying the humidity bodegas need. This Atlantic microclimate underpins the uniqueness of the Marcos.
Best time to visit Jerez is spring, with the May Horse Fair, and autumn at harvest time. Use the hourly forecast, wind and feels-like temperature before planning the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, the bodegas or the Jerez Circuit.
