Madrid Weather and Historic Climate for the Traveler
When summertime rolls into Madrid, the temperatures soar, but the humidity drops and precipitation becomes practically nonexistant, so it's not all that uncomfortable. The 2100 foot altitude of Madrid, making it one of Europe's highest capitals, means that it tends to cool off nicely at night, when Madrid comes to life.
Late October through November is the rainiest time in Madrid, with the rainfall peaking at 2.1 inches in November. Spring showers are quite possible, but we're looking at a place that doesn't get a whole lot of rain historically.
Madrid - When To Go
