, from December to February, is quite cold. At night, the temperature often drops below freezing, even though the temperature range is often considerable, so during the day the temperature can become mild.
. In fact, we are at the southern tip of an area subject to cold, called the "frost triangle", between the south-west of Aragon and the north-east of Castile-La Mancha, whose northern vertices are the towns of Molina de Aragón and Calamocha (south of Daroca). In this area, during the most intense cold waves, with clear skies, snow on the ground and no wind, the temperature can drop below -25 °C (-13 °F). In Teruel, the temperature dropped to -19 °C (-2 °F) in December 2001 and -21 °C (-6 °F) in January 2021, but there is a lack of data for the coldest winters, such as that of 1985. However, these values are rarely reached, in fact, on the coldest nights of the year, the temperature typically drops to around -10 °C (14 °F).
During the day it is often hot, even though the temperature drops a lot after the sunset: the difference between night and day is often 20 °C (36 °F).
On the hottest days of the year, the temperature typically reaches 37/38 °C (99/100 °F), but can sometimes reach 40 °C (104 °F), as happened in August 2012 and July 2017. In August 2021 it reached 41 °C (106 °F).
to visit Teruel runs from June to September, since it is the warmest and sunniest period of the year. Sometimes it can be hot, while in other circumstances, nights can be cool or even cold, so it can be useful to bring a sweatshirt or sweater and a light jacket for the evening, and maybe gloves and a wool hat, which take up little space and can be useful on colder nights.
If you fear the heat, you can choose the periods from mid-May to mid-June and from mid-September to mid-October.
