Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location from records such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasts are activities that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically based on the observation of cloud patterns, wind, and the time of year, although initially these they were not very successful.
It was not until the emergence of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that made it possible to achieve more precise predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transportation (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsthis beyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit put on.

The Mediterranean with cool summers, as its name suggests, has dry and cool summersas well as cold or mild winterswhile most of the rains fall in winter or intermediate stations.
This climate covers most of the northern plateau, interior of Galicia and numerous mountainous areas in the center and south of the peninsula. In the Canary Islands, it extends widely throughout the interior of the islands of La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera and Tenerife, as well as in the highest areas of Gran Canaria.
The continental Mediterranean registers mild and rainy wintersas well as dry and hot summers.
This type of climate is present in much of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. It extends across most of the southern half and the Mediterranean coastal regions, except for the arid areas of the southeast.
As for the cold steppe, the winters are very cold and the summers can be mild or hotFurthermore, the rainfall is scarce.
