Weather

Everyone always asks about the weather in Asturias, and it’s true that within Spain it seems that it has a bad reputation. However, as a former long term Peak District resident I can absolutely swear that the weather here is pretty good – on average 10 degrees warmer than the UK across the year and with a lot more sun and a lot less rain.

However, if I was to say it doesn’t rain that would be a lie, it does, and it can do with a ferocity that will take your breath away. How else would all those trees and plants grow that got it the name the ‘Costa Verde’ or ‘Green Spain’? The difference here is that almost within a day there is dry rock and whatever time of year, if the sun is out it’s warm. If not hot!

Summer – Very good. But the summer can be hot, and sometimes very hot. But it’s almost always climbable in the shade and never gets to the southern Spain ‘oh my god I can’t breathe’ levels. even in the worst summers it never rains for too long and is virtually guaranteed to be dry in Leon.

Autumn – Fantastic. Almost always dry and although can still be hot it’s less humid and very climbable across all the regions. Visitors have died off and crags will be very empty.

Winter – Depends on the year but can be dry or wet into spring and beyond. Leon can be a very good bet in winter with crisp days in the sun perfect for redpointing.

Spring – Late spring, and into May is usually very good but March and April are probably the least reliable times. Although I am typing this in March in 25 degree heat that is unseasonably warm. If it’s dry these are great months for redpointing.

If you want lots of detail here’s a load of charts I stole from the brilliant site www.weatherspark.com

Temperature

Over the course of a year, the temperature typically varies from 6°C to 22°C and is rarely below 3°C or above 24°C.

Daily High and Low Temperature

The daily average low (blue) and high (red) temperature with percentile bands (inner band from 25th to 75th percentile, outer band from 10th to 90th percentile).

The warm season lasts from July 1 to September 25 with an average daily high temperature above 20°C. The hottest day of the year is August 13, with an average high of 22°C and low of 16°C.

The cold season lasts from November 21 to March 17 with an average daily high temperature below 14°C. The coldest day of the year is January 19, with an average low of 6°C and high of 12°C.

Fraction of Time Spent in Various Temperature Bands

The average fraction of time spent in various temperature bands: frigid (below -9°C), freezing (-9°C to 0°C), cold (0°C to 10°C), cool (10°C to 18°C), comfortable (18°C to 24°C), warm (24°C to 29°C), hot (29°C to 38°C) and sweltering (above 38°C).

Sun

The length of the day varies significantly over the course of the year. The shortest day is December 21 with 8:57 hours of daylight; the longest day is June 20 with 15:25 hours of daylight.

Daily Hours of Daylight and Twilight

The number of hours during which the Sun is visible (black line), with various degrees of daylight, twilight, and night, indicated by the color bands. From bottom (most yellow) to top (most gray): full daylight, solar twilight (Sun is visible but less than 6° from the horizon), civil twilight (Sun is not visible but is less than 6° below the horizon), nautical twilight (Sun is between 6° and 12° below the horizon), astronomical twilight (Sun is between 12° and 18° below the horizon), and full night.

The earliest sunrise is at 6:42am on June 14 and the latest sunset is at 10:10pm on June 27. The latest sunrise is at 8:58am on January 2 and the earliest sunset is at 5:47pm on December 10.

Daylight savings time (DST) is observed in this location during 2012, starting in the spring on March 25 and ending in the fall on October 28.

Daily Sunrise & Sunset with Twilight and Daylight Savings Time

The solar day over the course of the year 2012 . From bottom to top, the black lines are the previous solar midnight, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and the next solar midnight. The day, twilights (solar, civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray. The transitions to and from daylight savings time are indicated by the “DST” labels.

Tenemos que aplauder @cesargarciacarballido y su n Tenemos que aplauder @cesargarciacarballido y su niño por su trabajo en abrir unas vías chulisimas en el sector de Cueva del mar, Proaza. Yo no podía ayudarle limpiar pero le paso material del fondo de chapas de Roca Verde: como chapas, parabolts y reuniones para ayudarle así. No es igual que trabajar en la pared limpiando maleza pero igual le ayuda algo 🤣🤣 Merece la pena irse allí y siguen abriendo vías entonces si  sigues su Insta tendrás todas las actualizaciones.
Got to give a big thanks to César and his son Oscar for his amazing work in adding a bunch of new route to the big slabs below the old sector of Cueva del mar in Proaza. 💪💪 I didn't have the time to help him clean being a lazy bastard but at least I can help by donating material from the bolt fund I set up with Roca Verde.

Pues muy buen día en Bóvedas con @galiares6a pil Pues muy buen día en Bóvedas con @galiares6a pillando a @asturiandiary mientras hizo su vía El patán, 6b+/c un clásico de Teverga y tampoco fácil con sus 35m de escalada fina. Lo encadenó en su siguiente pegue, enhorabuena chica 💗
Lovely day in Bóvedas watching Mary do El patán, a 35m 6b+/c classic of Teverga while being belayed  by the first ascentionist Gali. Nice job babe. 💗

Another beauty, sunny dry and not too hot. Drying nicely but the tufas are mainly wet still.

Meteo / Weather Teverga y Quirós 03032023 Muy bue Meteo / Weather Teverga y Quirós 03032023 Muy buen día mucho sol y todo va secando. Estuvimos en el rincón y casi no había una presa mojada!! Unos de los otros sectores se puede ver en las fotos siguientes: Entecampos, Cabras Alpinas, El rincón...y tampoco parecen mojados. 📷 David Rothstein en Sarah, 6c. 
Stunning day lots of sun's and some nice routes at El rincón. Everything is drying off nicely as you can see by the fotos of some of the other sectors I've uploaded.

Meteo / Weather Teverga y Quirós 02032023 Despué Meteo / Weather Teverga y Quirós 02032023 Después de un par de días sosos hoy es una días espectacular. La pena es que porque los últimos días eran malos tampoco hay in montón de sitios secas. Igual en las placas de Quirós o en Muro Techo / Entecampos / Rincón sería cositas. Pero por lo menos con el sol así va secando. No hay viento y hace solo 6° dentro de la sombra. 
Stunner of a day but because the last few have been grim there's not too much dry. The slabs at Quirós may dry, but remember there's only sun until three then in Teverga there's Muro Techo, Entecampos and El rincón that should have stuff. No wind and only 6 degrees in the shade.
Remember our apartment in Teverga is in the heart of this beautiful scenery.

Me pareció mucho más que dos años y medio cuand Me pareció mucho más que dos años y medio cuando el ganador del oro olímpico Alberto Gines López @albertogines estuvo en Teverga. En julio de 2020 fuimos un día para que el pudiera probar Clandestino, el único 9a de Teverga. Antes de probarlo hizo Alien, 7c+, a vista pero Clandestino estaba mojada abajo y al final casi no podía hacer nada. Buen recuerdos y como siempre cuando veas alguien haciendo tu deporte con tanto técnica con tan pocos años es un experiencia fantástica. Luego para verlo el año después en los olímpicos retrasado era inolvidable y estoy esperando a París 2024 para ver si el puede repitirlo. 💪💪
It seems like much more than two and a half years that Alberto Gines López was in Teverga. In July of 2020 just after the lockdown ended we went to the only 9a on Teverga, Clandestino but the start was wet and in the end he could barely try it. However it wasn't a wash out as he did a couple of other routes I managed to get some nice photos and spend another day with a future Olympic champion. It was amazing the year after seeing him win gold at the delayed Tokyo games and it'll be great to see if he can defend it in Paris.
If you fancy checking Teverga outr apartment is taking bookings..

Meteo / Weather Teverga y Quirós 28022023 Último Meteo / Weather Teverga y Quirós 28022023 Último día de febrero y es un día de invierno puro. Igual para los supervalientes con proyectos merece la pena ir a Muro Techo o algún sitio así protegido pero yo voy a hacer la yoga en casa e irme al tablón. 😉😉 Dicen que hoy debe ser el peor día entonces igual mañana salimos a la roca. Pero por lo menos las estaciones te darán bienvenidos si no se puede escalar ⛷️😂
Last day of February and it's a proper winter day. Cold grey and a bit snowy. 7° at the moment. There'll be some stuff dry for the keenest amongst you but I'm off to the board. Worst case the ski stations will be very keen to see you!!

Sitio de hoy: Cabañes, Desfiladero de la Hermida. Sitio de hoy: Cabañes, Desfiladero de la Hermida. Si no has estado allí este muro tiene vías buenas en un lugar estupendo. Hay varios sectores pero lo más visitado es Pelea donde hay sol hasta las 4 de la tarde en invierno o sombra después de las 4 en verano. Entonces con los días soleados invernales a pesar de su altitud debe ser muy buen sitio. Hay unas vías maravillosas y una selección guapa para los que escalan sobre 6b/c como las vias en las fotos. Foto 1 Wences Rodríguez en vía 12, 6a+, que termina con unos pasos duros para subir una panza pequeña. Foto 2 Barbara Pena @babaidem en vía 17 6b, en que lo más duro consiste de un pequeño tramo de chorrera  con pasos exigentes.
Todas las vias y sectores aparece en el libro del Desfiladero disponible a través de mi página web.
A great spot for these sunny, winter day would be Sector Pelea at the crag of Cabañes in the, La Hermida valley. This crag, though high up has sun until 4pm and is in a stunning location in the shadow of the Picos. It's a great spot for those who climb up to 6b/c and the two routes in the fotos, routes 12 and 17 are both good examples of this. One a 6a+ tricky wall with a difficult bulge to finish and another 6b, with a hard tufa section.
