What is the thermal amplitude?

Surely you have wondered during the spring months, how it can do So cold first thing in the morning and at noon you have to take off some clothes because it is too hot. This is due to the call thermal amplitude so typical of these dates in which we are. I'll talk to you next a little more of this thermal fact so that everything is much clearer.

There is very little left for the long-awaited spring to arrive, a characteristic of these months is that the days will be sunny and the temperatures will begin to touch 25 degreesHowever, the nights will be cold and in some areas of Spain you can even reach at 0 degrees.

The thermal amplitude consists of the difference that occurs between the highest and lowest temperature of a place, during a specified period of time. This amplitude is usually suffered especially by inland areas, unlike coastal areas, which tend to have a much lower thermal oscillation. According to experts, a high amplitude It will be the one above 18 degrees.

These temperature variations are due to factors such as the altitude, the sea or the wind. The sea breeze makes the coastal areas have little amplitude due to the softening of the temperatures, however in the inland areas the weather is drier and the temperatures are more extreme. Another factor to take into account is the wind, if it blows from the north the temperatures will drop a lot, on the other hand the south wind causes the temperatures be soft in winter and much higher in summer.

As you can see, you should get used to wearing winter clothes during these months first thing in the day and summer clothes as midday approaches.
