Chill hours in Spain
Ten-season averages for 15 locations in Spain, from NASA POWER hourly temperatures. 3 of them have a full page with the season-by-season table and the fruit trees and berries that suit them.
Where fruit grows in Spain
The Spanish locations are the Ebro basin around Lleida and Calatayud, where continental winters give ample chill, and the Murcian districts such as Cieza, where mild winters push growers toward low-chill stonefruit. The two ends of that range are several hundred hours apart in an average winter.
Across these locations the ten-season average runs from 349 chill hours at Girona, Catalonia, to 1712 at León, Castille and León. 45°F Hours and Utah are counted over 1 November – 28 February.
