20. USEFUL DATA AND SERVICES
20.1 CLIMATE.
Asturias has an oceanic climate, with plenty of rain all year and smooth temperatures
both in summer and winter. Due to the abrupt layout of Asturias, there are lots of
microclimates, although we could distinguish three main microclimates within the
region. First, it would be the climatic area of the coast, with influence from the sea.
Secondly, the area of the Sud-West of the region, which is not so influenced by the
sea.Lastly, the area of the Cantabric Mountain System, with heavy snowfalls which, in
relatively low altitudes, can start in October and continue until May, and where it’s
not so rare to see some snow under 2,000m during the summer months. These
microclimates are, respectively: rainy oceanic, interior oceanic and mountain.
