Jaen 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.
In the hills of inland Andalusia, the city’s rivers respond to the region’s autumn and spring rains rather than any single dramatic storm season. 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.
