According to Troll-Paffen climate classification, Barcelona has a warm-temperate subtropical climate (Warmgemäßigt-subtropisches Zonenklima). According to Siegmund/Frankenberg climate classification, Barcelona has a subtropical climate. Barcelona is located on the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, so Atlantic west winds often arrive in Barcelona with low humidity, producing no rain. The proximity of the Atlantic, its latitude, and the relief, are the reasons why the summers are not as dry as in most other Mediterranean Basin locations.

In the coldest month – January, typically the temperature ranges from 12 to 18 °C (54 to 64 °F) during the day and 6 to 12 °C (43 to 54 °F) at night.

Slight frost at night is more common on the hills around the city and in the outer metropolitan area (far from the sea, like in Montjuic). Frost during the day has been recorded in the city and inner metropolitan area during the strongest cold waves and snowstorms, but it's very rare. The last time when the city recorded a temperature below freezing, it was during the January 1985 cold wave.
