Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate, with sub-Mediterranean influence, which makes it not to be the “classical Mediterranean climate” with mild, humid weather and warm, dry summer. Because the city is located in Iberian Peninsula, the usual west wind, specially in winters, which cause the wet climate in many places of western Europe, arrive in Barcelona with low humidity producing no rain.
