Andorra la Vella sits at 1,023 meters in the Pyrenees, delivering a mountain climate with cold winters and warm summers that never quite reach Mediterranean intensity.

Rainfall peaks in spring and autumn, with May and October often the wettest months, meaning waterproofs earn their keep during shoulder seasons.

Winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing from December through February, while summer highs reach a pleasant 24-26°C, though evenings cool down sharply year-round.

The high altitude brings lower humidity than surrounding lowlands, but mountain winds can be persistent and biting, especially in exposed areas of the city.

The altitude differential means a fleece or light jacket becomes a year-round essential for evenings, even after the warmest summer days.
