Barcelona does not have a dry season or wet season, as precipitation is distributed evenly throughout the year, and its seasons are related to temperatures rather than precipitation; spring and autumn are wetter, while summer and winter are drier. 2603:8001:B202:3294:4CA6:126E:A8B1:CE07 (talk) 21:28, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
