How people dress in Madrid
- July and August are very hot and dry, with highs of 33–34 °C and almost no rain, so light, loose clothing, a hat and sunglasses are essential.
- The city sits high on a plateau, so winter nights drop to around 1–3 °C even after mild sunny days, and a warm coat is needed for evenings.
- Temperatures swing widely between morning and afternoon in every season, so layers you can remove at midday are practical.
- Rain falls on only 1–9 days a month, mostly in spring and autumn, so a compact umbrella is all you need.
- Summer evenings stay warm long after dark, so light clothing works for late dinners outdoors.
