Climate

In Winter, the Atlantic tempests of the West and of the Southwest, with his warm fronts, of frequently tropical air, bring strong rainfalls and are the determinantes of a few soft temperatures and up to hot, with differences day - night very little marked. The tempests of the North and Northwest, less frequent, reach the zone already debilitated, contributing few rains. Only the invasions of cold air of the Arctic, or the periods in which the anticyclones turn the squally fronts aside towards the north, can provoke a sufficient decrease of the night temperatures as in order that frosts take place.An idea of the winter smoothness us provides the everage temperature of January, the month more cold of the year, which ranges between them 10ºC of A Guarda and them 9ºC of Frieira. As for the rainfalls, the station is really very rainy: 600 mm of 1.600 annual mm of average are gathered in winter. The Spring is precocious and rainy. The dangers of climatic origin on this station are the hurts of frosts and the landslide of flower. The risks of frosts are void in the littoral and are growing as we move towards the interior. The hurts for frost it is very determined by the very irregular own orography of the D.O. Rías Baixas.The anticyclone of the Azores establishes itself on the western Atlantic Ocean at the beginning of Summer, blocking the way of the disturbances, which at most slip for the north edge of Galicia. The rainfalls are slightly frequent and slightly abundant and the temperatures are kept soft thanks to the fresh air, the summer storms are rare and it is under the risk of hail. On this station an important drought takes place edáfica favored by the decrease of the rainfalls, increase of the temperature and for a few sandy soils that facilitate the infiltration. Withdrawn the anticyclone, in Autumn the tempests penetrate one after other one, on a station again very rainy.
