In Summer time, the minimum average temperature is 5ºC while the maximum average reaches 17ºC (still, temperatures over 20ºC have been registered). On the other hand, the minimum average temperature is -3ºC in Winter (down to -12ºC) while the maximum is only 6ºC.

Wind is characteristic of Spring and Summer, the average speed is 35 Km/hr. but it can reach 100 km/hr. Nevertheless, the wind decreases during Winter.
