Question

Anyone been to madrid in august is it really too warm for us in the uk?

Answer 1

The region of Madrid has a temperate Continental Mediterranean climate (Koppen Csa) with cool winters with temperatures that sometimes drop below 0 °C (32 °F). There are about 2 to 3 snowfalls each year. Summer tends to be hot with temperatures that consistently surpass 30 °C (86 °F) in July and that can often reach 40 °C (104 °F). Due to Madrid's high altitude and dry climate, nightly temperatures tend to be cooler, leading to a lower average in the summer months. Precipitation levels are low, but precipitation can be observed all throughout the year. Summer and winter are the driest seasons, with most rainfall occurring in the autumn and spring.

It does get pretty hot, especially in the last few years, due to global warming, there has been constant temperatures exceeding 35 C for weeks...

I would say, coming from the UK (I've lived in the Uk for a while), you will feel quite out of breath in the scorching Madrilenian summer...
