Cadiz sits in southwestern Spain, where a Mediterranean-influenced climate with strong Atlantic character brings a distinct wet season from autumn through spring and very dry, hot summers.
Built on a narrow peninsula on the Atlantic coast, the city’s flood risk includes both rainfall and its exposure to Atlantic storm surge. Because the wet season here is spread over several months rather than concentrated into single extreme events like Spain’s eastern coast, flooding tends to build gradually as rivers rise over days, and AEMET’s radar network helps track these longer wet spells.
