On the coast, the climate is Mediterranean, with mild, relatively rainy winters and hot, sunny summers, during which the air is humid, but tempered by the breeze. Here are the average daily sunshine hours in Barcelona, where there are 2,500 hours of sunshine per year. In Lleida, lying in the interior, there are more often fogs and low clouds in winter, so much so that there are only 3 hours of sunshine per day in December, while summer is sunny as well, with as many as 11.5 sunshine hours in July, for a total of 2,700 hours per year. In Girona, the average ranges from 4 hours of sunshine per day in December to 9 hours in July (for a total of 2,300 hours per year), in Barcelona and Tarragona from 4.5 hours in December to 10 in July, in Tortosa from 5 hours in December to 10.5 in July. The amount of sunshine in Catalonia is good on the coast and in inland south-central areas, while cloud cover is more frequent in the Pyrenean and the Atlantic area. Rainfall exceeds 1,000 millimeters (40 inches) per year in the Pyrenean area, where some rains and thunderstorms can occur also in summer, it remains above 700 mm (27.5 in) in the Girona province, it hovers around 600 mm (23.5 in) on the coast of Barcelona and around 500 mm (20 in) on the coast of Tarragona, while it drops below 400 mm (16 in) in the central and southern inland areas (see Lleida), which are definitely arid. In Catalonia, an autonomous community located in north-eastern Spain, there are different types of climate: the climate is Alpine (cold mountain climate) in the Pyrenees, on the border with France it's oceanic (cool and wet) in the small area of the Garonne valley, located to the north of the Pyrenees and it's Mediterranean along the coast, while in inland areas (see Lleida), it gets a little more continental and drier than the real Mediterranean climate.
