Climate is mostly Mediterranean and varies from the humid, Atlantic climate of the North-North West that is much affected by the Northern Atlantic Oscillation to the arid areas of the South East on the Mediterranean coast and adjacent inland territory. Maximum temperatures in summer are above 30ºC in most cropped areas but may exceed 35ºC in the south and centre during periodic heat waves that mostly penetrate north from the African Sahel. This implies that climate change will affect the agricultural regions differently and that given the large evaporative demand that water supply is and will remain the main issue to add to current high and extreme temperature events. | |
