Climate in Leganes
Leganes, south-west of Madrid, has the same continental-influenced Mediterranean climate as the capital: hot, dry summers and cold winters. Summer highs regularly top 34 degrees Celsius and winter lows can fall below 0.
Annual rainfall is around 430 mm, concentrated in spring and autumn. Daily thermal range is notable year-round, making summer nights cooler than on the coast.
Summer afternoon storms fed by the Sierra de Guadarrama are frequent and can drop more than 20 mm in an hour. The Filomena snowstorm of 2021 brought historic depths.
Best time to visit is spring and autumn. Use the hourly forecast, heat alerts and storm probability before planning Polvoranca Park or the Severo Ochoa Hospital area.
