Wrong season for Madrid

[Mallorca]

Hi Pasha,
the season map for Madrid/Spain shows autum ... should be naked.

Fixed, the season-map for Madrid is the same as for Mallorca you have submitted awhile ago.

Thanks Pasha!

Hi,

As instructed by Par in the "wrong weather" thread (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2246&start=10), this is my season map suggestion for Madrid:

03.01:spring/05.31:summer/09.16:autumn/11.01:naked

Thanks,
Luis

Dear Lusio, sorry for the late response.
Are you sure there are no snow on the ground through the whole year in Madrid usually?

Hi, Par.

Don't worry, it's not that important.

Are you sure there are no snow on the ground through the whole year in Madrid usually?

In Madrid it has snowed an average of 5 times a year in the last 38 years, but half of those times the snow doesn't settle, and when it does, very seldom lasts more than 24 hours. About the temperatures, during the winter we are quite often between +5 and 0, and in a few occasions it drops to 4 or 5 below zero.

As I understand from what I've read in the forum, if we keep the present season map, during the winter, when the temperature drops below +5 (without snowing) the snow landscape will appear, which will be quite often. On the other hand, if we remove the winter in the season map and leave it as naked, as I suggested, it may snow at some point and YW wouldn't show the snow landscape unless it's -5 or below. Is that so?

Just one question, if the METAR station reports it's snowing, would the snow landscape appear?

Anyway, I think my suggestion is closer to reality than the present season map, but I don't want to impose my point of view, so I leave it to you.

Thanks,
Luis

Dear Luis, thank you very much, I have registered your season-map for Madrid.
I agree, your choice is the best!

if the METAR station reports it's snowing, would the snow landscape appear?

No, unless the regular rules apply.
Snow falling does not impact winter season switch.

Thanks a lot!
