My niggas. Obviously a superior breed of people.

From Wiki:

The city has a microclimate that brings abundant rainfall and allows for verdant vegetation on the nearby hills. Winters are mild with lows rarely falling below zero degrees Celsius. Because of the location in the river valley summers can be quite hot, often equalling temperatures of Andalucia. Many local families have apartments on the coast (Vigo is only an hour away by car) where they can enjoy the ocean in July and August.


Is that even possible? Andalucia is the hottest region in Europe, isn't it?

Yes, climate trolling xD It's because Ourense city is located in a hollow so in summer temperatures easily reach up to 38-40 degrees.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

It can get quite hot in the city but it's a dry heat (thank God) as it is in Andalucia. Where I live in the US it gets hot and humid; that I can't deal with. With a dry heat you need only find some shade to get relief but with humidity shade does not help.

[Smeagol]

West Mediterranids (Atlantid, and Gracile), with Alpinid, Berid, Dinarid, and minor Nordoid influences.

[Kalimtari]

btw, 2nd hottest place in Europe (1st being Andalucia) is where I come from; large basin (ave. 40 m above sea level, surrounded by the Highlands) around Shkodra/Scutari lake between Montenegro and Albania. Temperatures like 42 C to 44 C are not rare during the hottest months.

pics from there:

Yeah, summer is brutal in Ourense, that's why I prefer to stay at my dad's town in Coruña, by the coast. It stays much cooler in the summer.

Ourense is also brutal in the winter. It can get cold as hell, and it snows from time to time. In Coruña it rarely snows by the coast.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

God did not rest on the seventh day. He looked over his creation and said, "Needs a touch of awesomeness." That is how the people of Ourense were born.

You got that right!.....what I notice when I go over there is that I prefer to hang out with the people from Ourense than Coruña, I'm not sure why, but the Ourensanos always seem to have a better sense of humor versus the Coruñeses. Idk, maybe it's just me, or the particular people I'm hanging out with.

You have not idea(again)in many cities of Andalucía the hot is humid, like Almeria and Málaga, I do not know the other coastal cities but certainly there are more. Harías bien en cerrar la boca para no hacer el ridículo porque obviamente no eres español ni tienes idea de España.

The rainiest place of Spain is the Grazalema range, near Gibraltar.

[Tooting Carmen]

Lovely photos

[Proto-Shaman]

wow, some of them look really like Bashkirs from the Ural.

[Armand_Duval]

Orense is where part of my ancestry comes from.

From this town is where they came from, I even have Cea as a surname.

In Spain they say 'galicians are EVERYWHERE' or 'in every corner in the world there's a galician', so who knows.

[Gaston]

wow, some of them look really like Bashkirs from the Ural.

I'm pretty sure there are still places on Earth free from any mongoloid influence.

The rainiest place of Spain is the Grazalema range, near Gibraltar.

It's actually Vigo area, followed by Basque Country:

Grazalema has 1.962 mm on average, so it's the rainiest in Spain:

I believe you. But it's strange that it isn't included on the weather atlas. It seems pretty official: AEMET (Spain) and IPMA (Portugal).

Maybe because it is only a small town and it is not representative for surrounding lands, I don't know. It is a especial case because even being very southern the town is located within a range that acts as a barrier of the storms coming from the Atlantic.

Because there are thousands of rainfall monitoring stations all over the country.

Even so, that table dealt with absolutes. Top positions are all small villages in Gerês i think.

[Empecinado]

'our clouds', 'our clouds'????

clouds are of nobody, clouds are of the wind... like the master of all masters Zapatero said in a legendary idiocy some time ago.

(this picture of zapatero is really good, and real.) :tongue mostrando su gilipollez en todo su esplendor.

The Government nationalized the clouds that were above our country and then taxed them to death. They got so poor the emigrated to Spain!
