Curio
Valencia has a similar latitude to Madrid. However, the climate of these Spanish cities is very different, as Valencia is located at the seaside; Madrid is located in the approximate middle of the inland plateau. Valencia has much warmer winters (data from January, the coldest month):
- Valencia: {{convert|16.4|°C|°F|abbr=on}} during the day and {{convert|7.1|°C|°F|abbr=on}} at night
- Madrid: {{convert|10|°C|°F|abbr=on}} during the day and {{convert|2|°C|°F|abbr=on}} at night[http://www.aemet.es/en/serviciosclimaticos/datosclimatologicos/valoresclimatologicos?l=3195&k=mad Standard Climate Values. Madrid] - Agencia Estatal de Meteorología
and also Valencia has longer summers and milder temperatures in the middle of summer during the day.
